I HATE my 335!! more things broke

formgen99 · 09-22-2010, 07:44 PM

I just got mine back today from dealership for 2 more things breaking. The drivers side mirror went inop and started moving by itself up or down, it also moved when you touched the central lock button on the dash. The fuel cap lanyard broke in half.

Then after picking it up today, my adaptive headlights stopped working, not moving to the right when turning, not self leveling, just pointing almost straight down in front of the car.

Add to this list the other things that have broke: 2 fuel pumps, 3 injectors, 3 spark plugs, 3 coil packs, the entire central locking system (couldnt unlock the car), passenger seat control, bubbled tire, a mysteriously leaking tire, all the tint is scratched because of the shitty e90 hard rubber with no felt like the e92 and e93 have. I dont know what else could go wrong with this car.

So don't worry about it. Tell BMWNA they can have their car back and go tear up some back roads in the M3.

Are your headlights in the A setting? If they are just on, they will not turn with the wheels, even if you have the adaptive headlights - switch must be turned all the way to the left

He said they are pointing down which happens when the projector dislocates or snaps out of the pivoting point an common issue for adaptive headlights.

Ahh yup...my eyes must be in super skim mode tonight, but I just thought it was weird that came up on the same night I thought mine were broken, and realized the switch was in a diff position than normal for whatever reason, which solved it.

At least your still under warranty (I know at this point that's not much consolation, but it's all I got)

tmo24 · 09-22-2010, 10:16 PM

I would honestly tell BMW that you have had so many problems with the 335 that you will never buy a BMW again if they don't do something. I would push to have them take the lease back early with no payments or penalty. Or let you keep it for the last 2 months with no payments since you have clearly brought it in a lot for service and have been out of the car.

Trust me, this is my first bmw, and I will never buy another one again after owning this 335i.

Yup, the headlight switch position was the first thing I checked. Just tired of all these things breaking. As far as getting a buy back or early out of lease, The local dealership pretty much told me to F off since I didnt buy it here and to see my original dealer, bought it out in Colorado. Will try BMWNA route again and see what they say this time.

A long list of stuff on the Ops car.
My 335 has run great all the time, got some codes a while back...but that was the tunes fault.

Have had Bmw's since 97 and will continue if everything keeps working. Just had to say it, since no-one rarely tells a story of their 335 that just keeps on running.

ChasVS · 09-23-2010, 07:59 AM

Some cars are just a mess while most are sweet as can be! Knock on wood, I've had 4 BMW's dating back to the 1980s and have LOVED them all!

techlogik · 09-23-2010, 09:33 AM

So you make a thread with 59 days left on a lease about some issues with the car you are returning?

Cool story bro'!

Fix for some of your issues:
The fuel cap lanyard broke in half. YOU NEED TO TEAR IT OFF ANYWAY TO USE THE CAP FOR AUTOFILLING

bubbled tire, a mysteriously leaking tire, STOP HITTING SHIT

all the tint is scratched because of the shitty e90 hard rubber with no felt like the e92 and e93 have. DON'T BUY DIY TINT AT PEP BOYS
