What owners wrote
Entering a freeway on ramp during a turn, the car's fuel system failed and caused the car to 'shutter' (same feeling as someone who does not know how to drive a stick shift). This caused the car to lose control and flip over after hitting a ditch. The car has already had two fuel pumps replaced and BMW knows about this problem. So far, BMW does not want to take responsibility for their inability to fix this known 335I problem.
