Tl*the contact owns a 2009 BMW 135. While driving 60 MPH he noticed that the vehicle would no longer accelerate even though the engine was still running. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that there was a malfunction in the fuel pump. He did not notice any differences beforehand. The current and failure mileages were 12000. Bl the consumer was informed by the dealership that this is a known problem and the new fuel pump will fail within 20,000 miles. Updated 09/14/09.
There is no model option for a 335I or 335 xi for 2009. This needs to be changed. There was a sudden loss of engine power on highway. I was surrounded by other vehicles including trucks doing approximately 70 MPH. I came close to getting rear ended when my car suddenly slowed without any brake lights and I could not go faster then 40 MPH. This is the third failure of the high pressure fuel pump, (hpfp) on this 2009 BMW 335I.
