BMW 335i broken

El02bmw335i · 05-07-2019, 10:55 AM

Hi guys I have a 11 335i coupe with 74600 miles on it. It will barely turn on and when it drives it is very hesitant to shift and dosent have much power and is very jerky what could this be my friend has my code reader so I can’t read the codes right now

Sounds like it's misfiring

El02bmw335i · 05-07-2019, 11:08 AM

I don’t think it’s a misfire it has new spark plugs from lie 4k miles ago. Last time it misfired the jerk was worse.

You're going to need to read codes before anyone can effectively help you with this, too many variables!

intake leak

Based on the tiny amount of information you have provided, I'll hazard a guess. You have a bad battery. The e90's electrical system is incredibly sensitive to getting the correct voltage and I would bet your battery is original and not able to support the system.

Jerky shifts?

Sounds a little like misfires to me too...

Codes would help a lot

El02bmw335i · 05-09-2019, 06:58 PM

Whats the first code? I see 2 out of 3

Camshaft Position Sensor? VANOS Solenoids?

El02bmw335i · 05-10-2019, 05:02 AM

I bought a new comshaft positioning sensor the third code is the exhaust flap

El02bmw335i · 05-12-2019, 08:27 AM

The camshaft positioning sensor fixed it. I’ve never heard of this breaking on a e9x

MadDog89 · 05-15-2019, 04:37 PM

Was changing position sensor fix the problem?

El02bmw335i · 05-15-2019, 10:01 PM

Yes, the sensor and a few revs fixed it. At first the light wouldn’t clear till I reverted it till redline
