My Ride: Retired 2008 535i Titanium-silver with sport, premium, steptronic, NAV, HUD
Retired 2006 525i
I have a 535i stock (no mods)
This "engine malfunction, reduced power" came on a few days ago in mine as well. Switched off the engine and restarted the car after 15-20 minutes and the light was gone; hopefully for good. However I did not feel any loss of power when the light was on.

I hope you all know that their is a recall on the HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP? They used to be on backorder. Most dealerships do now carry in stock. They changed mine out just incase. This could be your problem. Or you are putting very poor gas in your car? Please use 91 octane or higher.. Turbos needs the good gas.. You may get awway with 87 .. but not recommended cause you may start geting knocking.. See ya

Just got a word from BMW saying that there is a miss fire at the No. 3 cylinder, fuel injector has been order and will be replace tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes well. I am keeping my finger crossed to have her back b4 the weekend.
I am keeping my fingers cross that it's not going to happen again...
