Loss of power while driving
This is the second time this has happened to me. I'm driving along everything is great, I push the pedal down to accelerate, car stumbles, and then no power. The car moves and runs but almost no acceleration. There is nothing on the cluster, zero check engines lights.
Anyone have this problem yet? Its a early build 335 xdrive Msport |

Sounds like limp mode. Maybe the electric fan is going out or malfunctioned.

OP, do a search for "loss of power malfunction" and you will find some helpful information. A sudden dramatic loss of power, in conjunction with a loud fan noise and potential steering wheel vibration = electric cooling fan malfunction. There won't be any codes visible to you, but your dealer will be able to see them. Good luck.

My friend and I ( 2013 335I m sport xdrive 6MT ) have the same problem, we bought she to dealer, they reprogram the vehicle cause they saw an error code, they take one day to do it, reprogram had been done 1 month already, it did not happen again. good luck.

thanks guys. The fan was crazy loud or at least louder than it usually is and that is the same thing that happened last time. When I brought it in the they saw the fan malfunction and said they reset it and watch it. Well I watched it and it happened again.
