Bmw 435i problems
The first generation of the BMW 4 Series consists of the BMW F32 (coupé version), BMW F33 (convertible version) and BMW F36 (five-door liftback version, marketed as 'Gran Coupé') compact executive cars. The F32/F33/F36 was produced from 2014 to 2020 and is often collectively referred to as the F32.
The F32 was introduced as the successor to the E92/E93 coupé/convertible models of the fifth-generation 3 Series range. The F32 is produced alongside - and shares many features with - the F30 3 Series. As with the F30 3 Series range, the F32/F33/F36 is powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with three cylinders (petrol only), four cylinders, and six cylinders.
The high performance F82/F83 M4 models were introduced in early 2014. They are powered by the S55 turbocharged straight-six engine.

Common Bmw 435i problems
The BMW 435i cars, particularly the F32 and F36 models, are known for several common problems that have been reported by owners. These issues include sensor problems related to the brake vacuum, which can cause the engine to malfunction.
The N55 engine, which powers the 435i, is generally considered reliable. However, some owners have reported problems with the oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, water pump, and thermostat. It is also recommended to upgrade the charge pipe for improved performance and reliability.
When considering a high-mileage BMW 435i, potential buyers should be aware of the potential for costly repairs in the near future. Regular maintenance, including preventative maintenance, is crucial for ensuring the longevity and reliability of these vehicles. However, some components, such as the engine coils and intake manifold gasket, may still require replacement even with proper maintenance.
Lastly, it is important to note that certain features, such as heated seats and a backup camera, are not standard in the BMW 435i, which can be a source of frustration for some owners.
Is the BMW 435 a good car?
Made extremely well. The rear wheel drive has fantastic handling; car flat with no lean on curves. Seats are very comfortable on a long trip … Comfort Mode drives great, Sport Mode is very high performance.
Is the BMW 4 Series a reliable car?
But when it comes to reliability, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Performance: No doubt, it's a fun car to drive. The handling and power are top-notch. Maintenance Costs: Where it gets a bit iffy is in maintenance and repair costs.
Is the 435i the same as the 335i?
The 435i is lower and wider than the 3 Series sedan and the automaker even claims the 4 Series has the lowest center of gravity of its current lineup. With a lightly modified version of the turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 in the 335i, the 435i has lots of torque and little boost lag.
How much HP does a 435i have?
302 horsepower
Most powerful is the BMW 435i, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 that makes 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, two horses more powerful but five pound-feet less than the 335i. Transmission choices are the same 6-speed manual or 8-speed auto.

Bmw 435i 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-08
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-11
- VIN: WBA4B1C58FD
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I own a 2015 BMW 435i from Checkered Flag (Jaguar) in about 2017. The car is currently experiencing a fuel pump failure of exactly the type that is described here: [XXX] . Your VIN lookup does not show my car is covered by the recall, even though my car is exactly the make and model described in the recall notice. Moreover, the defect my car is experiencing is exactly the defect described in the recall notice. It makes little sense that some cars of this make and model would have a fuel pump problem but not others; it is far more likely the fuel pumps are common to all cares of this make and model and somehow my VIN was left off the recall list. I’d like to ask you to look further into it, as it appears to be quite a coincidence that my fuel pump failed in the manner described in the recall notice.

- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-28
- Date Complaint: 2020-02-03
- VIN: WBA3R5C50EK
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: MY 2014 BMW 435XI STALLS ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME ISSUE WAS REPORTED ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V189000 FOR MY VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR. WHEN I INPUT MY VIN FOR THE RECALL, THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE ISN'T SHOWN. FOR THIS REASON, BWM WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. MY GIRLFRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON HER 2013 BMW 328I AND BMW REPLACED HER FUEL PUMP AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. I BELIEVE THE CLEAN POINT ESTABLISHED BY BMW FOR THIS FUEL PUMP ISSUE WASN'T CORRECT OR BAD PARTS WERE STILL IN VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE CLEAN POINT. MY CAR HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. IT'S NOT SAFE BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME HAS TO AVOID MY CAR UNTIL I REACH THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP. I USUALLY JUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES, RESTART AND THE CAR DRIVES NORMAL. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DUE WITH THE FUEL LEVEL. THE CAR ONLY STALLS WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS AT OR BELOW 1/4 TANK. CURRENTLY, I KEEP MY CAR ABOVE HALF A TANK TO AVOID THE STALLING ISSUE. MY FEAR IS THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN REGARDLESS OF THE FUEL LEVEL. I'M SENDING THIS LETTER BECAUSE LAST WEEK I WAS RUNNING LATE AND DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO FILL UP THE TANK AND MY CAR STALLED AT 1/4 TANK ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ALMOST IN A ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP!!!
