49,600 miles - SES, drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately, looks like an injector crapped out while driving on the highway but we shall see. Also getting in tank fuel pump tsb while it's in there. Just squeaked in under warranty, at dealer now. Symptoms were Smoke, sounded like it was down a cylinder and no boost with big idle vibration and vibration under load/misfires

The 335xiGT just got demoted below the E90 M in long term reliability. M has 95000 miles and has never had an issue that would strand the car. If I had continued driving the F34 in this condition it would have fried the cats and eventually probably would have caused an engine failure so I count it as a pseudo stranding.

New Pirelli RFT summers about 3000 miles ago. Otherwise all original everything but fluids.

EDIT: Resolved with new #4 injector. Dealer also performed the in-tank fuel pump service bulletin.
