What The Hell Is This???

syncro · 01-09-2011, 10:36 AM

I just bought an 07 335i coupe a 2 week ago so i decided to see what it could do. I fully turned of traction control and did a 5 second burn out. I will admit that i was reving a little high throughout the burnout but whatever. As soon as i stop stopped my engine light came on and it felt like the car was misfiring. I pulled over, turned the car off then on and it was perfectly fine. A week later the car has been driving perfectly. I thought buying a 300hp rwd car entitles you to have a little fun every once in a while.

what the hell is the problem? Is it a coilpacks?

Try another burnout and report back.

That's nothing. I did a 10 second burnout the other day

most likely has nothing to do with your burnout. you should be able to take the car to redline very often without any issues aside from a hole in your pocket from fuel costs.

sorry i can't offer more info, but have you taken the car to the dealer to have the three recalls performed? (hpfp, injectors, dme programming)

Take it in for service. The code will still be stored. Had this same problem. It ended up being the fuel injectors. Didn't find that out until after they replaced the cyl 1 coilpack and it happened again. They changed out all 6 plugs and fuel injectors.

Had an intermittent like that, it turned out to be collapsed vacuum lines to the waste gate actuators. Fairly common problem, according to the SA. Both lines replaced under warranty.

take it to stealer

JayKay335i · 01-09-2011, 06:32 PM

Thats nothing. I did a burn out, held it at red line, and waited till my tires ripped off and I ran on rim.

It's your car, you can do what you like. But be prepared to dish out major $$$ when your drive shaft, bearings, and your suspension components start to fall apart from the burn outs, not to mention your transmission.

menewtobmw · 01-10-2011, 10:07 AM

Isn't the fuel supply cut off to the engine prior to any damage being done? The lack of fuel could have caused the problem.

E90jonno · 01-10-2011, 10:10 AM

My dads merc has the same problem but way too often (trying to make him buy M3) he has had it in the shop loads spent £££ but still nothing no one can seem to find the problem.

Baldur Abendroth · 01-10-2011, 10:15 AM

It's just the hpfp, take it in.......

B3AST · 01-10-2011, 01:14 PM

Redline without load is not good. Burnout is very little load.

Coolieman1220 · 01-11-2011, 08:41 AM

my question is, 1 wheel or 2 wheel burnout?

Shane23 · 01-12-2011, 01:17 AM

Maybe burn out raised oil temps and the car went into "limp mode" well u didn't get any warning lamps so it's probably hpfp.. Or any of the reasona posted above..
