2012 BMW 335i Loss of speed (Help)
Hello everyone!
This is my first time posting here and need some help. I have a couple problems with my 335I, it has 80k miles on it and recently broke down on me. Turns out it went into limp mode because of a broken charge intake pipe. I took it in, was charged 650$ to get the rear one replaced. As soon as I got in my car it didn’t feel normal, it was pulsing while idling and thought it was because of the new part installed. Whilst driving I noticed I had lost a lot of power when pressing my gas pedal. It didn’t feel the same and felt like it wasn’t accelerating the same at lower speeds. I also have some other problems that I’m getting fixed, such as smoking from the engine bay due to a valve cover leak (getting fixed currently) and squeaking noise when I use my JB4 Tune. Possibly PCV Valve. If y’all have any ideas to why my car lost some power please let me know!! Thanks |

Sounds like to me some type of boost leak/ vacuum leak. Was the car fine power wise till the chargepipe broke? I would of gone with an aftermarket chargepipe because the OEM pipe will break again with time.

Start with checking your charge, boost, turbo inlet and intake pipes / connections. If stock, replace them. If upgraded, check to make sure the seals are good and they're all cinched together nice and tight.

bmw 13 71 7 615 026 appears to be for the CP so the first mistake was replacing the OEM CP with another OEM one, especially if you are running a JB4. Too late for that now, so take it back to the shop and have them perform a full pressure/smoke test.

damn, that's an expensive charge pipe. with that money, you can buy FTP charge pipe + boost pipe combo and have some money left (or buy ER combo with added few more dollars on top of that $394)
too late now as jeremy said... |
