Need HELP (335i 6MT)

nsquared · 12-31-2012, 08:16 PM

Hey, I need help from some knowledgeable BMW enthusiasts!!!

335i N55 motor - In 2nd gear I have no boost or power. I cannot accelerate from 2nd gear in any fashion. 1st gear is strong and when I shift into 2nd, nothing and 3rd - 6th is all good. WTF is going on?

Well, all things being equal, I would say take that car to the dealer. I have plenty of power in 2nd gear, so something is not right.

How did you make out with the scan? New Owner and notice the same thing. In 2nd gas to the floor and drags until about 5k

My fan was replaced once for that and one month later it went into limp mode again. Dealer still has my car and waiting for BMW to give them the next step.
