Re: SOMEONE RESCUE ME ! smoke

3 possible leaks.

1. Engine oil leaking from engine cover gasket.
2. Engine oil leaking from vacuum pump
3. Coolant leaking from back of cylinder head

all these 3 areas leak from the back of the cylinder head driver side and drips onto catalytic converter. smoke usually happens after about 4mins of driving in the morning right?

cheers

BMW is a journey.

If kena carrot, it is part of the journey.

That's what a forum is for - share information...........Let us know if warranty is covered.
