| 2007 bmw 335xi floor mats are not anchored or attached to floor in any way. floor mays constantly slide back and forth, as they are smooth on the bottoms. the drivers side mat will often cause clutch pedal not to release when shifting, as the mat obstructs the pedal from releasing. this issue was reported to local dealerships and i was told there was nothing that would be done. | |||

| Engine failure sign comes on my 2007 bmw 335xi and the engine power significantly cuts off. this has happened to me at least 3 times. the 1st and 2nd time it happened to me, i was driving on the freeway and suddenly, the sign comes on and i lost significant engine power, had to slow down and move over to the right lanes, as i had to drop my speed immediately from 70mph to 55 or lower. then i pulled over, turned off the car and restarted the car. sometimes that worked and my engine got full power, sometimes it doesn't and i have to drive with low engine power. the last time this happened to me, 3 days ago, i was in my subdivision and the same light came on, and i lost power. luckily, it was only my sub, so i stopped the car and re-started the engine. for all the times this happened, i contacted bmw and i believe the did and idrive update and replaced the high pressure fuel pump. | |||

| 2007 bmw 335xi door lock system failure. the car is 3 years old and the door locks have failed twice. the drivers side door locks will not open and the only recourse was to climb over the console and exit through the passenger door. this is a safety issue. i have had it repaired twice, and the second repair by the dealer was to put in a larger valuse fuse. this does not seem like a proper repair. i am sure that tere is still something wrong and that as it continues to degrade i will be locked in the car again. in an accident situation this could be deadly. | |||
