This is the smoke cloud I get after about 5 minutes of the car sitting idle. This is a FRESH oil change with about 2 miles on the oil. The previous oil had 33 miles on it. The smoke plume is much larger if it sits longer or if I use passing gear in traffic.
What you can't hear in the video is the car hunting up and down while idling and spitting out of the exhaust even after all of the servicing and parts I've replaced associated with the VANOS system and camshaft sensors. Also can't hear the timing chains rattling of which I've had it in countless times at BMW for and their only explanation was "the N63 is notoriously noisy...don't worry about it."
I really don't drive the car due to all of this, maybe to the store occasionally or around the block to blow the cobwebs off of it. Hopefully I can get some resolve when I take it in.
