Is your oil level or radiator coolant level low? It sounds like the engine is going into "Limp Home" mode to save the engine.

The N54 engine takes 7 quarts of oil with every oil change. But you shouldnt have to worry about that in the US because BMW covers all maintinace for the fist 4years or 50k miles. its not that hard to do though if you do need to perform it yourself.

There is an issue with the rear tail lamp bulb holders. BMW knows about this problem and released an updated part. Basically the bulb is not held tight enough, and occasinally loses contact with the holder. Your car should still be under warranty and any local BMW dealer should have the parts in stock.

One in boot on the right hand around the battery somewhere, one under dash and could also be one under the bonnet, would be over to the left hand side of the vehicle. Not had to touch the electrics on any of these yet but generally thats where they hide.

It means that the engine power has been reduced - either automatically when the brain of the car has detected a mechanical problem in the engine or you have engaged the rain mode.
Usually this happens when you use a low quality fuel. But i've stumbled on rare cases when the Vanos sensor valve was the cause. The only way to precisely tell which is expensive and implies a visit to a dealer.

Bmw 335I Problems Humming in car. Goes away when

First thing I'd check is the power steering fluid level. If it's low, add until it's at the proper full level as indicated on the cap/dipstick for the pump's reservoir. A low level can cause a humming or slight grinding sound. If it's full, you could have a rack-and-pinion problem, a wheel bearing problem, or even a tire problem. Good luck.
