Some BMW 335xi owners report experiencing engine malfunctions indicated by warning messages such as "Engine Malfunction Reduced Power." These issues may stem from various components, including the Valvetronic, Vanos, Oxygen Sensor, Ignition Coils, Timing Chain, Battery, High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP), Turbo, ECU, and Transmission. Specifically, faulty Oxygen Sensors are known to disrupt fuel efficiency and emissions monitoring, contributing to engine problems. Additionally, drivetrain malfunctions can lead to engine issues, emphasizing the importance of identifying and addressing root causes. When the reduced power warning appears, it signals that the vehicle's performance has been intentionally limited due to detected system failures. Common factors leading to reduced engine power include ignition malfunctions, fuel delivery problems, air and exhaust blockages, and timing errors, with faulty ignition coils being a significant concern. Addressing these potential issues is crucial for restoring optimal performance in the BMW 335xi.
