All, I have a serious problem after changing engine oil at AB. The engine is vibrating like an old engine. Worst still, if taken out the engine oils measurement stick, you can see white smoke coming out.
Checked with my mechanic, he said this could be piston ring is "burning". Checked with AB again, they said this is normal for Diesel engine (320D). Can anyone of you help me to check if your engine is "smoking" ?

guys, if you open up the engine oil cover the dipstick will pop out. Have a look when the engine's cool tomorrow before starting up.
mat - a but surprising to hear of "burning piston ring" diagnosis. what the heck does that mean? how many km's did you run your engine before changing out oils? don't listen to the crap from AB that it's "normal". you should find that your engine actually gets smoother after an oil change!

my 1st oil change at 13K+ KM. Yes, it feel smoother after changed but I too gain 2 others : (i) engine is vibrating (ii) smoke from engine
i did another oil change recently (18K KM), but the 2 things still following me ...... I'm gonna to send the car to another dealer and have it check.
By the way, the dipstick is on the right hand side of the BMW engine cover, or look for the word "BMW" then you will find a stick just next to "W".

Was your engine just switch off when you notice smoke coming out ?

No offence' but what is burning piston ring ? Tak pernah dengar Bro !

Best of all AB say's NORMAL !
Now thats a joke

My thoughts exactly. No dipstick popping out after removing the engine oil cap either when engine is cold or hot.
