2007 BMW 335XI Problems

the component that failed involved 4 wires (pictures available); that somehow grounded against a cross member that wouldn't have been previously visible due to their location hidden by the under car shielding. the car is at the wrecking yard that the police called. i wanted triple a to come and get it, but was told by an officer that they didnt have time for that. i had to go in to the tow company, and sign my title over to cover towing, and avoid further billing. as of 2 weeks ago it was still there. my safety was at risk due to the electrical fire that then caught the shielding on fire, and desperately try to put it out, and no luck. the problem has not been confirmed, by anyone beside me. i have pictures and evidentally showing where the fire started. in the images it shows one and maybe two areas of toning where the wire(s) fused to the cross member about 12 inches back from the firewall in the middle on the underside of the car. the car has only been inspected by me. i retrieved the fire fighters report, and have not been able to get the police report yet due to financial constraints. though the car is being picked off of; as of the last time i took pictures, the area that caused the incident was still intact. i had been in the car no longer than 7-10 minutes of operating it when it went into limp mode and probably travelled 50 feet until it came to a complete stop; then i noticed smoke coming out from the hood; so i popped the hood, jumped out, and opened it. that when i saw an orange glow obscured by the firewall. i then ran to the passenger side, and saw a relatively small fire. so i took my coat off and tried to smother it, but then my coat caught fire, and it grew from there. when the fire department engaged the fire with water; there were 2 to 4 times that firemen ran up to me asking if it was a hybrid, and i answered no. it flared up several times creating increasing difficulty for the fire fighters; that an educated guess was caused from electrolysis.

July 28 2022 while parked and I. The off position my 2007 b.m.w 335xi began bellowing black smoke from under the hood of the vehicle. I quickly discovered the origin was behind was in the housing for the vehicles blower motor. Once I realized I could put the fore out I called emergency services, they responded but the vehicle was completely destroyed.

Fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump. I believe there was a recall for the 335i model not the 335xi. These are the same exact engines and were produced at the same exact time with the same exact parts. BMW created index 1 injectors and has since remanufactured to what today is now called an index 12 injector. I believe my model is well over due to qualify for this recall because old injectors can cause a fire WHILE DRIVING. Fuel leaks around electrical spark plugs and bmw knows this but they only recalled for the RWD model which is ridiculous. Not only could this cause a fire, but it could danger the lives of the driver, passenger, and others on the road. Without a recall owners are forced to try and scrape together at least $2,850 just for the updated injectors not including the labor fee. Pressure builds up and these injectors could pop out (due to pressure) which could cause a serious accident. BMW needs to do what is right and recall the 2007-2011 335XI because they know these have the same problems as a regular 335. Please help insure the safety of vehicle operators and general public by investigating this issue and demand BMW to provide customers with the 335XI recalls. There is also an issue with the TURBOS that often fail due to “wastegate rattle”. This is highly dangerous because if the turbo fails while driving your cars engine will stop and overheat risking potential fire and crashing.

MY VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE CODES FOR FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS. A RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED I N 2010 TO REPAIR THESE INJECTORS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS TITLED 10E-A02: REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS. THE ELIGIBLITY WAS LISTED AS VEHICLES WITH PRODUCTION DATES FROM 4/01/2007 TO 11/30/2008. VEHICLES INCLUDED WERE BMW E90 MODELS. I HAVE A 2007 E90 MODEL WITH A PRODUCTION DATE OF 3/2007. IT IS PECULIAR THAT THE PRODUCTION DATE DID NOT INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES IN THAT MODEL YEAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND DETERMINED THAT THE PART NUMBER ON MY FUEL INJECTORS WERE THE SAME AS THE PART NUMBERS OF THE FUEL INJECTORS FOR VEHICLES PRODUCES IN 4/2007 AND FOR THE REST OF THAT MODEL YEAR. I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL, PLEASE ADVISE.10

BMW 335XI VEHICLE FIRE TOTAL LOSS. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCE THEN PARKED. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE WAS DISCOVERED ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS IN THE BMW DEALER WITH ENGINE CODE LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD TO DRIVE UNTIL SOFTWARE UPDATES WERE AVAILABLE. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY BMW CINCINNATI NORTH MY AIR BAG WAS REPLACED OVER 30 DAYS AGO. YOUR DATABASE SHOWS IT WAS NOT. ANOTHER BMW DEALER RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT MY AIR BAG WAS NOT REPLACED. BMW NORTH AMERICA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATION. THEY SIMPLY STATED, NHTSA RECORDS MAY NOT BE UPDATED YET.

BMW SAID THEY REPLACED AND FIXED THE AIR BAG ISSUE AND BATTERY CABLE (POSITIVE) RECALL. IT'S BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS AND I JUST SEARCHED ON SAFERCAR.GOV AND THEY BOTH STILL SHOW AS OPEN ISSUES. DID BMW LIE?

2007 BMW 335XI DOOR LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED TWICE. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN AND THE ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE AND EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE, AND THE SECOND REPAIR BY THE DEALER WAS TO PUT IN A LARGER VALUSE FUSE. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A PROPER REPAIR. I AM SURE THAT TERE IS STILL SOMETHING WRONG AND THAT AS IT CONTINUES TO DEGRADE I WILL BE LOCKED IN THE CAR AGAIN. IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION THIS COULD BE DEADLY. *TT

COULDN'T UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOWS AND USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE ON MY 2007 BMW 335XI. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ON I290, AT ABOUT 70MPH, WHEN I NEEDED MORE ACCELERATION TO PASS A TRUCK... THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE, THE ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT WAS FLASHING. THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN VERY QUICKLY, I WAS UNABLE TO GAIN MORE SPEED, NOR EVEN MAINTAIN SPEED, I HAD TO RUSH TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE, ALL THE WAY FROM THE LEFT LANE. THERE WAS A BARRIER ON THE LEFT LANE, SO PARKING ON THE LEFT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO DANGEROUS. I STOPPED BY AUTOZONE, THEY SCANNED MY CAR... THE SCAN REPORTED: CYLINDER 4,5,6 MISFIRE. THE CAR DROVE FINE AFTER I TURNED IT OFF, AND BACK ON... BUT, EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE FAST, THE ENGINE MISFIRES VERY VERY BAD. I WOULD LOOSE TO A HONDA CIVIC ON A RACE. *TR

2007 BMW 335XI FLOOR MATS ARE NOT ANCHORED OR ATTACHED TO FLOOR IN ANY WAY. FLOOR MATS CONSTANTLY SLIDE BACK AND FORTH, AS THEY ARE SMOOTH ON THE BOTTOMS. THE DRIVERS SIDE MAT WILL OFTEN CAUSE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT TO RELEASE WHEN SHIFTING, AS THE MAT OBSTRUCTS THE PEDAL FROM RELEASING. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD BE DONE. *TR
