2013 BMW 335i Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 BMW 335i covers a six-trim lineup — Base, Exclusive, Luxury, M Sport, Modern and Sport — in three bodies: a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan and a two-door convertible. Power comes from the turbocharged 3.0L DOHC inline-six on gasoline. Coverage runs by system rather than by trim, so a coupe on M Sport hardware and a sedan in Modern trim share the same engine procedures, the same torque values and the same diagnostic routines.

Known issues on the 2013 335i. Two recalls appear on the federal record. In one, the driver's air bag inflator can explode as it deploys, sending sharp fragments through the cabin. In the other, software leaves the front side marker lights inoperative when the parking lamps are on, so the car shows less of itself at night. Owners have logged 65 complaints, spread fairly evenly across the electrical system at 15, air bags at 13 and the power train at 13 — restraint, lighting and driveline work all supported by the wiring diagrams and diagnostics here.
