I know similar threads have been posted but to me they seemed inconclusive. I have a 2007 335xi that I bought 9 days ago, this is my first BMW as well as my first turbo'd car so I am fairly ignorant. Anyway when I start it cold it smokes white out of the right side exhaust. It doesn't smell like burning oil but neither does it smell like coolant but it does have an odor. I bought the car from a Honda Dealership and when they serviced it they only filled in 4 liters of oil, so i drove the car like that for maybe 100 kilometers or so. I'm wondering if running the car with low oil damaged the turbos or turbo seals?
The car is bone stock. It has 100,000 kms (62,000 miles) on it. It smoked white when i picked it up at the dealer but I thought I had just revved it too much too soon after start up but now it smokes every cold start.
