Dear Readers

Few days ago I bought my first bmw namely a bmw m550i xdrive
Yesterday I thought let me kick on his tail for 5 min
ma after I've done that and just have paused and parked I noticed that the car quite smoked smoke of burnt oil

and thought let me look under the engine and saw sweat stains fresh oil then I was shocked
I have made some pictures I hope you can free me from my fear

And I got message on my dashboard of engine cool down open the hood

Here is an better picture

Very likely just an upper oil pan leak. These gaskets are a common fault with all N63 engines (regardless of variant). Sorry, correction: upper oil pan leaks are common on ALL BMW ENGINES. The smell is just oil coming in contact with exhaust pipes. Not an ideal situation to be in having just bought the car, but also not the end of the world. In the US it's a $2-$3.5K repair on the N63.

As for the cool down warning - that's more of a cooling issue. Personally. never had that ever come up for me, but then again I've never stressed my engine.

That just means that it's hot under the hood and be careful to not get burned.
