I took the car in for an oil change and I had them pull the codes. It needs the scheduled brake fluid service which was ridiculously priced so I’ll have the local BMW service place do that one. I also thermostat faults so they replaced the thermostat and topped off the coolant. The DME programming needed to be updated so I paid for that. Since that event no other engine lights have gone off and I’ve driven several thousand miles. The dealership wanted $412 to replace spark plugs  so I’ll have the local service company do that one too!
Back to the smoking? What are your thoughts and experiences? |
See if there's a recall on your oil feed tube to the turbo. Apparently oil leaks past the turbo seals after you turn the car off and then you get a plume of smoke on startup after the car sits for a while. The new oil feed line has a check valve in it now.
