I was driving home from the dry cleaners. As I was trying to merge into the freeway, the car check engine light came on with about a 70% reduction in power. I couldnt merge onto the freeway safely, and had to pull tot he shoulder. The car is currently at bmw dealer for repairs. It has been suggested that it is due to the fuel pump.

I buy my 2009 bmw 335i with 39,700 miles, full bmw service was done the same day, my next service was at 49,000 miles however at around 48,000 miles. When driving to work on the highway going 50mph I had to move over to the passing lane and when I attempted to accelerate about at 65mph the car started to shake very bad and the engine light came on and I loss power had to slow down to 20-25mph could have cause an accident as I was in the faster lane and car slow down rapidly!! Thank god I was able to move all the way over to the slower lane with little issue. After I pulled over I turned the car off and open the hood as my oil temp was just about at 250*, under hood temps was hot but not anything crazy, everything looks good so I started the car and it idle like normal and the engine light was now gone, I close the hood and was able to drive the car like normal, so I took the car to the local bmw dealer in my work area and they told me the issue I am having is cause by the hpfp high pressure fuel pump, so they reply it and everything seems normal for another 2,000 miles then I had the same issue again! This time I was heading home and it happened when I was trying to accelerate with moving traffic omg that was bad all most cause a major accident with all the cars, trucks behind me had to slow down rapidly .. Was going 30mph and tried to speed up to 60 .. At around 45mph car lost power and was shaking worst than the first time this happened, engine light came on, again thank god I was able to pull over, I turn the car off and waited for 5-6min than turn it back on, this time the engine light remain on, my oil temp was around 190*, the car still idle and drive as normal even with the engine light on, took it to my local bmw dealer in my home area and they found this time is two bad injectors one at cylinder 1 and the other at cylinder 5 .cost of repair $1.1k.

I was driving uphill last night and an engine light came on and the navigation screen said reduced power. I had to shift down into third gear and put my foot to the floor and the car hardly kept going up the hill. I turned it off and then on again and all seemed fine. On the way home the same lights came on but then the service engine soon light came on and began flashing and the car began shaking and idling very rough. The car was very hard to drive and had almost no power whatsoever. Problem occurred again this morning and the car was taken to the dealership on a flat bed. This would be extremely dangerous if it happened at highway speeds or on an open stretch of highway with little access to services and/or repair facilities. The dealership says it is the high pressure fuel pump.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) I am the owner of a 2009 bmw 335i purchased august 2009. On april 6, 2010, I started the engine in the morning and was greeted with long cranks and the check engine light turned on with an error message of engine failure, reduced power. The car has been fine before this morning at 7,200 miles approx. I contacted the dealer and was told to bring it in. The car was still drivable. On the way to the dealership, the car stalled and completely lose power on the highway and on the inside street causing me to have to quickly put the gear in p and restart the car. I informed the dealer about the stall and engine failure but was met with no regards. The dealer informed me that it is a high performance fuel pump failure. Please investigate the issue as I do not want to be driving on the highway and have the engine completely stall and shut down again. [xxx]
