Its the HPFP issue. I had two loaner 335i's with the same problems you describe (erratic shifting and power delivery). When I returned the latest one (to get my 530i back) back to the dealership, I told them about the problem. The response? "Don't worry about it, it happens ALL the time" with a great big smile. The car had 25k miles (probably a 2010), and it seemed obvious this wasn't the first HPFP this car went through.

its too old to lemon he means but negotating a bmw buyback is not a legal thing its a negotiation and has no mile/time limit. Lemon law is a law that they have to comply with but has a set time frame that defines the car as a lemon-three repairs on the same part in first year of ownership qualifies u

I am hoping that it will be resolved by then two. The verdict was that it the car needed a new HPFP. I got the 933 version of the HPFP and a reprogram. The SA said that he has not seen any reprograms come back that also had the HPFP replaced at the same time. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
