[QUOTE="Herbert, post: 735300, member: 18029"] Very likely the top engine valve gasket has seriously deteriorated causing leakage of lubricant oil onto the exhaust manifold. When engine is switched on, the exhaust manifold would be very hot thereby causing the spilled lubricant oil to burn creating smoke. If I were you, I would take the car to a BMW workshop specialist and have it thoroughly check out unless you are willing to spend thousands $$$$ for unknown issues later on. Interior and exterior of the car can be nice but end of the day, if the engine is unhealthy, you could be spending all your time at the workshop. Cheers [/QUOTE]
