What owners wrote
I was driving and the high pressure fuel pump on my 2009 BMW 335I went out and I received a warning sign indicating reduced power. The car died in the middle of the road. Potentially unsafe with cars coming at me as my vehicle came to a stop in the middle of the road.
The car's high pressure fuel pump failed on freeway on-ramp acceleration leading to a near rear-end collision by a following car. This failure was preceded by long-crank starting and engine racing on starting. The hpfp was replaced at 6,000 miles (10/09). At 12,000 miles the software was reprogrammed. (6/10) the dealer says it is replacing the hpfp again. This appears to be an ongoing problem with the BMW 335I engine starting with the 2007 models as reported on this website.
