I FEEL THIS SITUATION WARRANTS YOUR IMMEDIATE REVIEW FOR A POSSIBLE FORCED RECALL. MY 2008 BMW 335XI BEGAN HAVING SPORADIC PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2009. BECAUSE OF MY DISTANCE TO A DEALERSHIP AND LONG TIME BETWEEN PROBLEMS I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. BY DECEMBER THE PROBLEMS BECAME MORE SEVERE AND FREQUENT. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD BECOME ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER POWER AND THE CAR WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD FIRST TAKEN THE CAR TO A BMW DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON JAN 2, 2009 …

MY COILS WERE REPLACED AS WAS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND AN O2 SENSOR IN BETWEEN HPFP #1 AND #2. …

THE CAR STARTED BUT IT STARTED EXTREMELY "ROUGH" WITH THE ENGINE RPMS RACING THEN DROPPING DOWN TO 500 RPMS, FEELING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. EVENTUALLY IT EVENED OUT. UNFORTUNATELY STARTING ISSUES ARE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR SIMILAR STARTING ISSUES. THEY REPLACED: THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH BMW KNOWS IT HAS ISSUES WITH, MADE "SOFTWARE" UPDATES, AND REPLACED THE DMA. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE IT AND TURN ON TO A BUSY STREET, I ESSENTIALLY LOST M…
