2013 BMW 335i xDrive Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 BMW 335i xDrive returns the coupe and the sedan to the same book, both running the 3.0L inline-six with double overhead cams and a turbocharger, both fueled by gasoline, both listed in a single trim. Two bodies, one drivetrain: the engine, transmission and chassis sections are written once and apply to either car, while the body and electrical chapters carry the differences between the four-door and the two-door.

Known issues on the 2013 335i xDrive. Sixty-five complaints stand against this model year, spread across three areas more or less evenly, 15 on the electrical system, 13 on the air bags and 13 on the power train. The manual meets all three with procedure rather than description: wiring diagrams and circuit tests for the electrical faults, restraint component and diagnostic coverage for the air bags, and transmission and driveline specifications, torque values and fault sequences for the power train. Working those sections in order is what turns a complaint pattern into a repair.
