Problem overview

Some BMW 535i owners report experiencing engine shutdown during startup due to overheating or fuel-related issues.

Additionally, poor fuel quality, issues with the fuel supply, or malfunctioning fuel injectors can contribute to these startup difficulties. To effectively resolve these concerns, owners are advised to check the engine temperature, verify the fuel quality to rule out contamination, and inspect the fuel supply system and injectors for potential issues. Addressing these factors can help troubleshoot and mitigate the engine cutting off during startup.
