Purchasing a CPO 2013 528i XDrive, previous blue smoke issue?
I'm about to purchase a 2013 528i xdrive with 40k miles, and getting a really good deal. The car had issues with blue smoke that is claimed to be already fixed . What would be the reason for the blue smoke.Is it something that I should be worried about?
Thanks |

Blue smoke, I believe, is typically a sign of oil burning. Could have oil puddled up during startup, and when started, the oil is sucked up and burned off. Could be a leaking valve seal, broken ring, or a few other things. I would want to know what was causing it and how it was remedied before buying the car for sure

A friend of mine told me that turbo oil line could be the problem. I just did some google search and it looks there are quite a few people who had similar problems on f10s. Meanwhile, I took your advice and just shoot an email to the dealer (asked for details) Thanks |

Yeah, the only thing that makes me relieved is the CPO thing. I know cars are going through a comprehensive check to be a CPO. The warranty ends on may 2019 or 100k miles. My criteria was to find something under $26k with premium package, cold weather, navigation, park assist,back up camera with tan or gray interior, also no accidents.
I narrowed my options down to 3 (even went up to $28k) but could not find what I want. The one that i found has all the packages , options that I want (other than the color-was my second choice). |

I just got an email from he dealer "The issue was white smoke after a cold start, the remedy was to replace oil feed line for exhaust turbocharger. Oil pipe inlet."
They told me that they had the paperwork for it |
