Problem overview

Some BMW 335i owners report experiencing reduced engine power when the engine malfunction light illuminates, often suspecting issues with fuel injectors, a valve cover leak, or the fuel pump. Faulty fuel injectors can lead to inadequate fuel delivery, necessitating inspection for clogs or leaks. Additionally, a valve cover leak may cause oil seepage, potentially impacting engine performance, making it essential to check the valve cover gasket for proper sealing. Furthermore, problems with the fuel pump, such as low fuel pressure, can also contribute to reduced power, prompting owners to inspect the pump for signs of wear or malfunction. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for restoring optimal performance and preventing further complications, and consulting a professional BMW mechanic is advisable for those uncertain about diagnosing or repairing these problems.
