- Yes I am serious. My V8 BMW was smoking randomly and burning oil.
Now it is fully and professionally fixed for under $20.
No additives or tricks just replacing a simple part.
While these were torn in my BMW and they gave me a smoother idle and helped. I also had issues with valve stem seals, but so worth a try

So I want thank you so much I was haveing this same problem I fixed it the car does not smoke anymore at all everyone should know about this in at least do this before they think their engine is bad thank you so much for showing this video you saved me about $9,000
I have a 2006 BMW X5 3.0i Suv, which started intermittently smoking like a Millyard chimney - huge bellows of white smoke. Required a new Breather for nearly $1400 (mostly labor). Are you telling me I could've spent just $20 to alleviate this issue?
I have a BMW 545i 2005 4.4 v8 and randomly started doing white smoke after using it after driving it I’m going to check this out thank you 🙏🏻
@@aNqEljoker did it work for u?
Fantastic video was the problem on my e46 bmw 320d fixed for £8.99 with a new breather filter bought off ebay.
Thank you
THANKS HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE..WORTH A SHOT ..BMW'S NOTORIOUS OIL LEAKERS SMH
WOLFMODE 88 you fix it?
everybody says valve stem seals, ok but on my m57 bmw engine i cahnged them also i got the head tested for leaks, did a piston ring replacement aswell....and the car still smokes blue at idle ( not much , but it does smoke tho ) and it loses a bit of oil.. next thing im changing is turbo ( it has a bit of play ,but ive seen worse turbos that had a lot of paly and still dont spit out oil ... so idk if a new turbo would fix it ) ill be changing the ccv valve too.. wish me luck..
4.8 L V8 BMW X5 2010 - smoking on idle and start-up watched this video and figured why not change out the PCV diaphragm first, bought a pair for under $20, and wouldn't you know it, my drivers side PCV was ripped almost in half like the video. Installed the new diaphragms and no more smoke on startup or idling in the drive thru. Well worth swapping these out and a DIY job, just to eliminate the variable. I haven't seen any more smoke, been about a week, so I think it has solved my issue. (Better than the expensive Valve seal job for sure!) Thanks Mark, great video, helped me out a bunch! Cheers!
Robert Folk Soo Good to heat. 😀
Well done.

@@Marksreviewsandtutorials Hello Mark, first of all great video... I do have a question for you, I'm not sure if it matters but my x5 blows white smoke like steam not blue , would this be the same procedure? Please advise, thank you in advance!
would like to know the answer to the question about the white smoke. mine is white smoke as well from the tail pipe. but yesterday under the hood smoke was coming out a small area that looked and felt like rope? going from one spot to another it was very short, at first i thought it was a rope that was getting stuck burning to the engine but it was actually connected to something and right where it was connected smoke would come out. can anyone help me figure this out? i just purchased this 2007 328i bmw with 127k miles on it. needs new shocks as well lol i feel like i’m in a boat 😭
Good day my BMW X5 was smoking like crazy when it set idle I tried everything and it ended up to be just needing spark plug change 😂after that it stopped smoking.
On n54s, smoke (oil) from the exhaust is the pcv valve on the valvecover
Well shit i came here n u solved my problem 😂👌🏽 well we’ll see 👀
Mine gets white smoke would it be the same thing?
@@heartbreakhugo no. Smell the smoke. Burning oil smells like oil vs coolant
I have a 2007 bmw 550i smokes but not to much to worry but do smell that oil smell ? Could it be the pcv valve or valve cover gaskets or both?
@@jrjr8574 nope. Most likely valvestems
Well spotted buddy..👍...had this same thing but in a different way with my focus ST and a few volvo t5's ive owned..its hard to believe this stupid little diaphragm can cause such worry..my st lost boost and made a howling noise...and if i hadnt changed this it would have blown quite a few seals...but ive been looking lately at bmw 650s...and they can have this smoking problem...do they have this same diaphragm does anyone know ?
This must be what is going on with my 535xi 2008 with 110k on it. After long idle I get smoke and then it goes away a mile or two down the road. Also if I park with my nose facing down hill on the driveway it's ten times worse. If I park with nose uphill it's not as bad.... interesting.
After reading your comment i suggest you Also check this video: th-cam.com/video/R3NrMnl2Py0/w-d-xo.html
the engine cover scares me a lot. the m62 cover looks more subtle and friendly 😜😜
Guda Lawrence let me guess u got v8 like me
Thank you! You solved my issue.
I have the exact v8 4.4i and it was exact the same crank case which reared up thanks for pointing me in the right direction ❤️and saving alot of money trying to figure out what was the problem
So Glad it worked for you..
Mark's reviews and tutorials I have a 550i that does this so what do I buy and change?
Awesome!! Thanks. I have this issue with my 05 X5 4.8is. Ill have my mechanic try this
X5 or any X bmw are trash get rid of it ! Junk
And what happened to the end Kesha?
I have a 2005 bmw 545i v8. I already changed this, but still have smoke. Is there something else I should be checking
Yes Watch this. th-cam.com/video/R3NrMnl2Py0/w-d-xo.html
I have same motor 2002 745 li 4.4l I replaced the two Ccv...but I noticed it smokes sometimes when idling 30 minutes or more only with the ac on....help please????

When I idle I have the same issue, hopefully it’s just this PCV cap, thanks for the information going to have my mechanic take a look at it.
BLAZENYCBLACKOPS what ended up happening?
Any news?
I have a 2005 bmw x-3 that started smoking only when I turned it on ...it is fine when I'm driving it but if I come to a stop and put it on parking it starts to shake...can anybody tell me what it might be?
Same issue, did u fix it
When you get a chance check your throttle body on engine if it have a lots of build up smut ! Clean it with throttle body spray cleaner ! You can find an AutoZone or O'Reilly's spray the throttle body real good and why would they clean towel what are doors open freely to get a good air flow! That should be your problem ! Save you some money a simple Hack
Glean your throttle body ! With throttle body spray you should be good
I changed the cover still smoking when making stops time to time
BMW blowing smoke? Valve stem seals the definitive test.
th-cam.com/video/R3NrMnl2Py0/w-d-xo.html
Always do monthly checks on your pcv. Also all 7 series BMW vehicles are susceptable to valve stem oil leaks! Check out AGA rental tools to complete the repair yourself especially if you don't want to remove the cams on your engine. Newbies can also do this job! Do not be afraid to complete this type of repair, you can do it. Give the middle finger to BMW dealerships and keep the money in your pocket.
Thanks for the comment. Do you have a link to a diy or guide on how to do valve stem seals on the bmw V8
Hello do 750lis have the same issue? I have a 2006 750li that suddenly started burning oil and smokes white smoke 💨 Thanks in advance. .. Pete
Yes 2006 V8’s. Although oil smoke is normally bluish. Watch this video. BMW blowing smoke? Valve stem seals the definitive test. th-cam.com/video/R3NrMnl2Py0/w-d-xo.html
I definitely got to replace my valve covers
N63 its the valve stems for sure
J Harting Yes did you read through the comments?
It was and I did have to change the valve stem seals as well. 😣
What year is your bmw?
Mark how much did you have to pay to have the job done?
2011 bow 550i... me too
Thanks for the video I'm gonna go look at the caps right now my E60 doesn't shoot a lot of smoke but I did notice smoke coming out of the exhaust tips when I had it on park on hot California day, also a little cloud came out when I pulled out the driveway wasn't big or anything but enough to get me worried lol
Also check this. BMW blowing smoke? Valve stem seals the definitive test. th-cam.com/video/R3NrMnl2Py0/w-d-xo.html
What was the issue Anthony ?
Wondering if you ever figured out why your E60 was smoking. Thanks
@e46m54nissansr20937 yes, i found out that it was leaking oil from the valve covers, and into the engine bay which caused the smoking. I had to replace the valve covers, and some hoses, also replaced the valve stem seals.
Since 2002, the 4.4, 4.8, and newer 4.4 TT engines ALL have valve guide/stem seal issues. Garbage motors, garbage quality.
My 2003 540i 4.4l m62 did not have this issue
My E53 X5 4.4 had 196k miles before I sold it, never smoked.
The engine blocks,themselves are bulletproof, very strong like the mercedes v8s but the gaskets and components fail
@@WayToManyAssassins - Agreed. Mechanically the engines are good but when it came to timing chains, guides, and valve stem seals, big fail on BMW part
@@goclunker that’s because your car has the M62TU44B not N62
I have a 650i 2006 BMW low miles too . 72K and it just started to smoke a bit when its sits for awhile an just happens when you take off. There has been a leak off the the left side of engine front of car. Could it be the PVC valve thats leaking and causing it to smoke and leak a lil. lmk . Hate being a girl sometimes we just ripped off way too easy. lmk please
Hi Colleen. The PCV valve doesn’t leak to the outside. Ie. A drip It leaks oil internally ie makes the car smoke through the exhaust.
Yes smoking and rough idle can be this pcv Valve.
Unfortunately it can also be valve stem seals. These are a very complex and expensive fix
I wonder if bmw has observed that most of the cars on youtube that burn a lot of oil are bmw. I have a bmw x3 2.0 petrol driven 206,000 km and it also burns a lot of oil, about 3 ltr on 1000 km. I also have a mercedes b class 180 cdi driven 236,000 km and it uses minimal oil, and I also feel that it has more quality than an x3 in every way. Never more bmw for me after the x3 one day dies of internal bleeding of oil.
Use Lucas oil stabilizer if not the ccv
My car pumps out alot blue/white smoke after driving for about 5-10 minutes when the engine warmed up. Happend after i had my cars dpf deleted at a tunershop. Ive ordered a new crankcase breather valve (ccv) but i dont know if that will fix it.. Any suggestions? its a bmw e90 320d n47 engine
Did you got turbo watched? Sometimes it is turbo that is bad/on end and start consuming oil, any news or update to problem? I have same problem same car but dpf is still on so i think to my car it is turbo
Same if you have some advice how to fix smoking and oil consumption on that car i would be grateful for tips what to watch for problem of oil consumption and smoke
@@ali3n795 my DPF and EGR was not coded out properly. That was my fix

great work
Hey
I’m wondering if this fix applies to a 2005 bmw 645ci ?
Worth having a go as the smoking scenario described on this video is identical to what I go through sitting in traffic .
And if this valve wears out , can it also leak back and spill into the engine ,?
Appreciate any advice
Nicky Marley Yes it is worth a try.
Often it can be valve stem seals though. That is much more expensive
Yeah Iv heard stem seals are pricey .
Although if heard with stem seals the smoke is continuous not just when your idol or after a period being stuck in traffic
Hi, I have a 2008 335i BMW. It has been burning lots of oil. Every 3-5 I have to add more oil... I took it to German auto 4 times. Spent 2,550 to fix an oil leak. But still have an oil leak. And they tried to charge me an additional 2,200 to fix something they were suppose to fix already. So I also mentioned the smoke and oil consumption. They told me that my turbos was going out. But I don't trust what they told me because every time I went to them I came back with a new issue. Do you have an idea of what may be going on?
Brebently Hi there. There is no doubt that some mechanics method is to take a best guess and to then replace that part.
I have had this before. My suggestion is to change mechanics. If you are on Facebook a great thing to try is to go to your local buy sell swap group and ask there where is the best place to take your BMW. That is what I did last time I moved and I found a local mechanic that was BMW trained so knew what he was doing.
Brebently i think 🤔 you should go get a mercedes-Benz Most BMW cars have a linking problems constantly I have a Bmw and all it do is be parked Bmw dealer got me for $8,400
Brebently Vlog PVC valve on the valvecover. Super easy to do. My oil consumption on my 335i stopped instantly. Got a aftermarket one on ebay, with alloy cover.
Pretty sure I told you about this on another post months ago, well, months later I'm still not smoking... 335i pcv is different than this one, but same issue
Hello, nice video, do you know if your engine has one valve on each side? or just one? I have same exact problem on a X5 2004 4.4 2004
Yes Have a Look here, I show you where both are: th-cam.com/video/Fjfar5wBDNE/w-d-xo.html

Replaced mine stopped smoking 3 months later smokes again what can it be??
Can that cause blue smoke
Yes burning Oil causes Blue smoke
In the case of valve stem seals all you have to do is run a heavier oil and add Lucas oil additive. No more smoke and plus the motor runs forever anyway. Nothing happens any further then the smoke. So just run a heavier oil. Sorted.
Ribarac Klan Don’t I wish that was all there was to it. This car was in California where there are strict regularly tested emission controls.
Ribarac Klan what kind of heavier oil you suggest and what kind of Lucas oil additive? Thank you
@@alexandermirzaev1674 and if 1 bottle of Lucas isn't enough add 2. Its just the oil that BMW recommends is very thin. So the seals leak a bit. Get heavier it leaks less.
Ribarac Klan Thank you, I’ll try it tomorrow
@@alexandermirzaev1674 Let us know if that worked.
I have a 2012 BMW X5 5.0 with and the BMW mechanic told me that the valve stems and both turbos may need to be replaced costing me $15k. I almost passed out. I've searched the internet and found various videos of why it cost so much because of the very very intense labor work. One video had the mechanic dropping the entire engine and drive train to get to the stems and even then it took them several hours (5) to get to the stems. If anyone has any recommendations on how I can save a bit of money I would greatly appreciate it.
NOR19ANDRO With valve stem seals I certainly wouldn’t take it to BMW that would be the most expensive way. I found a place in Sacramento that did the seals without removing the heads and this was way less. With your car so young I would look to find someone who does that.
Mark’s reviews and tutorials
You can save money by letting it get repossessed
@@private6624 Exactly..
Buy the valve cover gasket kit for both sides and Have someone replace all valve cover gaskets and timing chain cover gaskets. All the rubber seals are going bad and causing a vacuum and oil leak. Those engines have to be sealed tight. Mechanics and dealerships know that valve stem seal leaks oil into the cylinder only when the engine has set for a hours or a day and when you start the engine it smokes and then it clears up. Not when you’re at a red light at idle. It’s a big money maker if you don’t know. Just find a decent mechanic not a dealership, buy the gaskets yourself and tell them to put the valve cover gasket set on. You’re save a ton of money. Thank me later. Be blessed
You can buy an oil additive that's supposed to revive the oil stem seals. I don't know how well it works but it all depends if a big repair job costs more than car's worth. I just noticed you posted 4yrs ago, did you get it sorted?
Where can I get a BMW X5 2001 4.4i engine cover plate?
Anyone know about 550i white smoke coming out
i have a bmw x5 2008 and i was told that it contains 48 valve and they will need to be replace it? I don't quite understand then, it seems you only replaced one?
Miguel Espejel I replaced the PCV valve here and there were two. One on each bank of the engine.
The other common thing to replace when a bmw smokes is the valve stem seals. There are the same number of those in your engine as there are valves.
Engine valves are something different again. In each cylinder there are valves to let fuel in and valves to let exhaust fumes out.
Miguel Espejel what happened
Hi, I have a 2007 E90. Same problem. Changed the CCV and pipes today. Took out for a test run for a few miles. Still same problem. Do you think the car needs a long drive to get rid of any old oil sitting around?
Shoot Film Like a Boss. Shortly after I shot this video the problem came back, it was fine then all of a sudden it had a massive smoking session again. Turns out the PCV valves were shot as it shows here but my car also had valve stem seals that had failed. So my car needed both.
I was advised by two different mechanics that maybe I just needed to take the car out for a drive to clear it which I did. But because the valve stem seals had also gone it made no difference.
Mark's reviews and tutorials bummer!. I'll see what happens. Thanks for that
Mark's reviews and tutorials well I changed the CCV and pipes and all clear.... For about 5 days. Now smoking again as I pull away! Strange. Why does it clear for a few days then come back?
Shoot Film Like a Boss. I would suggest professional eyes to look at your car cause valve stem seals are very expensive. There is a special tool so that they can be changed without taking the heads off. This will save you about $1000.
Shoot Film Like a Boss yo bro did you ever fix it I got the same problem ;(
Thanks. What engine is this? I have a N63 and Im wondering if a similar fix can apply.
Ricardo Lopez I believe most BMW’s run similar valves. My current 530i does
Mark's reviews and tutorials G’day Mark, I have a 2008 533i E60 and it blows no smoke when idling as far as I’m aware. But occasionally under heavy acceleration it blows a scary amount of smoke. And occasionally it idles roughly. Can you please share your thoughts mate? Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Cheers
Great info, thanks for posting the vid.
Check injector , turbo and value
What do you mean by injector? I have e90 n47 and have problem with oil consumption, on upper side off motor (upper from head gasket), below injectors have little bit of liquid, diesel probably, need to replace seals, but can that be problem for oil consumption? Also read somewhere that it can be dpf sensor problem that it burns oil, i seen that my car is every few days turning on dpf reg. On dashboard, can that be problem? And if you know how can i test it to be sure that it is or not dpf filter that burns oil? I will be gratefull for any tips if you have regardles my problem, because lot of peoples in my county say if it start using oil it is turbo, but when i unplugged house from turbo there was little to non oil after i drove for 20km and no lower power, so i think that it is not a turbo problem
nice job done !
@ 4:00 tell your neighbour to keep that bird in the kitchen mate.
Drove BMW’s for 17 years never had this happen. Even with the S63B44T2. ( M5 )
Regular and proper maintenance done by proper Technicians
Is key to all vehicles.
Same is true about Porsche as well.
911 991.2 TURBO S you never replaced the pcv on your cars? Bullshit. Its a common issue, super cheap to replace and no amounts of maintenance saves the shitty pcvs used in bmws. I did the pcv on my 335i, issue gone instantly.
i see that you have ventilator in your caps i bought ones without the ventilator, replaced the old ones and still giving the smoke later i checked the old ones, they had ventilator on it do you think that putting non-ventilated cap is causing smoke?
My old and new caps both had what looked like a tube attachment on the cap but both were in fact blocked off.
It the car is still smoking after replacing torn CCV valves then sadly you may have to replace the Valve stem seals and that is a much more expensive repair.
Hello...I have a e46..that blows white smoke, I do see oil consumption also and little bit of coolent consumption that because of leak or burning I donno, but in city traffic I can see white smoke and while increasing the rpm also, not soo thick like cloud but it is smoking, when I drive in highways in continue high rpm I cannot see any white smoke and I stop and ideal my car for 5 to 10mins then again I can see white smoke.

I want to buy this BMW 750 LI but I seen a little smoke coming out the tail pipe, should I just leave it be
Dangelo Mckenziety I would ask if the valve stem seals have been done in the engine. If not walk away.
Dangelo Mckenziety I would ask if the valve stem seals have been done in the engine. If not walk away.
The dealer ship act as if they didn’t know. I knew about the valve stems because I got my 04 745LI done before and it didn’t change nothing... so I’m so many words I would be taking ah chance if I buy 1 that’s smoking a little
Dangelo Mckenziety n juuu875221234o so why not change the pcv/ccv????
whats the link or store name on ebay that you got that from ?
I bought those nearly a year ago now so i'm sure it would have all changed now. A quick search on eBay should find you lots of options.
exactly what car is it?
i have a 2004 bmw 545i with every package available and its done unless i can stop this smoking
That was a 2006 X5, with 4.4i. Pray that it is just the PCV as the next most likely is the valve stem seals and that is 1000's
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials yes but even if it is the valve seals you can still drive on it and nothing happens ever it's just a bit smokey.
Hi my golf 5 turbo broke an the oil leaked through the exhaust I put a new turbo but the car is smoking what can I do to stop it
Hi there Shevani When you say oil leaked through the exhaust?
If it was/is a lot Then it could be a major fail inside your engine? If you have increased the boost with Turbo then this risk is also greatly increased.
So this could be blown head gasket or even rings on the pistons. Both of these things are there to separate the oil from the cylinder then exhaust. So if they fail then you can get lots of oil through
Hi a mechanic already changed my turbo but he said that it has to run out the oil from the exhaust that's y it's smoking alot
Shevani Padayachee Yes but running oil out of an exhaust is just 1 afternoon of driving or Take a trip or find a safe place and do some quick acceleration.
If it stays then there is another source leaking the oil.
👍
More than likely valve stem seals
Exactly
I had the smoke coming out of the muffler. Soon after the valves started failing. Replaced the cylinder head and the problem was gone.
does the m54 engine have those things? and if so could it cause a misfire?
Hi Erik. No they cannot cause a misfire, when torn they will just allow oil to get into the air flowing into your engine and they will cause blue smoke.
For a misfire check your coils th-cam.com/video/i_lyKNyYbpc/w-d-xo.html
and plugs th-cam.com/video/WRa_HWgYLbc/w-d-xo.html.

khim tv While it is a common problem on many cars it would pay to get it checked. Also burning oil ie faulty PCV valve gives bluish smoke. White smoke is different.

Calvin James OK. Please let us know on here how it works out for you. Mark
THIS DIDN'T WORK FOR ME I CHANGE BOTH
Sorry to hear that. Were they torn?
The next most likely cause is valve stem seals. Sadly that is a complex costly repair
It’s most likely the valve seals then
Forte
Liqui moly 10w60 and two cans of motor oil saver
What about Mercedes benz?
Mercedes have there own set of quirks. But can also be similar
Sounds exactly like blown valve seals. Not the pcv
David M. Pcv does it too, my n54 was doing it, smoking like crazy at idle. One alloy pcv and cap upgrade later for $40, zero oil consumption and zero smoke. Not always the valve seals
I replaced mine and it still smokes. 2007 550i notorious for leaky valve seals which smokes after idling. Very expensive repair.
Hi Al Cooper, sadly you are right. If you can find a place that can change them without removing the heads (special tool) this will save you considerably.
I found a place in Sacramento that did this.
Hi Mark, Do you remember the place in Sacramento that does this work with the special tool? I have E60 550i that's smoking like
crazy...Thanks!
Sad to hear about your smoking BMW.
I went to Capitol City European and the service was excellent. Yes they have the special tool so the heads can stay on.
Say Mark the Australian with the X5 sent you.
www.yelp.com.au/biz/capitol-city-european-sacramento?osq=Bmw+Repair
Mark, thanks for your prompt response; how much did it cost to get this done?
Mr.J J stretching the memory but I think the local guys were $6000 including taking the heads of and replacing the head gaskets etc. and capital city was $3500? It could have been $4500. Either way much less. They did the valve stem seals and left the heads on.
hey, I have a 318 I 2007, smoking, what might be the cause? valve?
Hi Luis Angeles. Have a look on you tube for videos about what color smoke means what. I am going to do one but not yet. Start there. This is a cheap common repair that is so worth it even just to rule it out. If you have bluish smoke and these valves are fine then it is often valve stem seals which is thousands of dollars 💵 😟
No, is like white smoke
Luis Angeles
try a bottle of liqui moly stop smoke it works great
white smoke is head gasket. expensive job.
WestEnd Inventor
use a bottle of kseal.., that stuff works great for head gaskets
1/2 Quart of Oil = about $2.50 per month X 12 Months = $30.00 a year. Trying fixing it... It's gonna cost you more than $30.00 and time consuming too. Now that is fixing it yourself. If you bring it to a Mechanic.... He or She won't do it under 1K for sure, LOL
Jordan Bronson Hi Jordan. That works unless you live in a place like California where there are mandatory smog (pollution) checks. Then you have to fix it.
Jordan Bronson are you an idiot? The part costs next to nothing, even the n54 version is $40. So you rather be blowing smoke and burning oil than to replace the valve and not look like a moron? Are you serious??? This is why so many of these cars end up in the junkyards for people like me to pillage, thanks!
I got a question how about if the rubber is not rip n my car still burning oil
7imVue Vuester Hi there. If the gaskets are not torn then this isn’t the problem. These V8’s do commonly need valve stem seals replaced as well. Have a read through the comments here
better to start saving money for a new engine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tried that. Didn't work.
Is that a kiwi accent I hear?
I hate my BMW X5 48i it's a joke on a pretend quality for a 55,000 car back in 2009. Didnt even make it to 84,000 miles with out, air bags failing and now blue smoke. PIECE OF GERMAN CRAP
Nonya Business Sorry you are having a bad run with.
Hi All, Can anyone tell me the name of the part in the video so that I can search for it on EBay?
Hi Gigi. If you search for BMW PCV valve and add whatever detail you have for your particular engine you should be able to find these. Also see this video for how to change them th-cam.com/video/DrNJaZIESrs/w-d-xo.html
Crank Case Vent Valve
you better open up and show that valve rather than just talking about it
you better look at this video where i did exactly that rather than just whinging about it. th-cam.com/video/Fjfar5wBDNE/w-d-xo.html
Hgygge Kansas morning is a fun day h he is not sure
It’s the valve guide seals , 100% of the time , common problem
My x5 4.4 smokes only after idling for about 5 minutes. I was told by a mechanic my piston rings was bad??? The car has not lost any power so I kinda find it hard to believe. What do u think???
tim kaminski I have replaced valve guide seals on a 4.4 bmw engine many times . That’s how it works . When u idle for a while then press on the gas u see smoke . Bmw should have a recall on this problem but they don’t . Even the parts guy at bmw believes they should .
@@joemama5259 then would u say it's defimately NOT the piston rings? Just asking not questioning your reply. I thought it would be weird if it was the Rings cause I have not lost any power, and the only time it smokes is after idling for minutes. I did buy some blue devil stop leak and add to the oil after trying thicker oil. The blue devil does stop the smoke for about 500 miles then the smoke comes back.
tim kaminski , u have different rings on a piston , compression rings and the lower level rings that keep oil out of the combustion chamber. So even if oil rings were worn u will not loose power , but if the rings were the problem , it would smoke all the time , in fact the more gas u give the car the more smoke u will see .
Zed S on my n54 is was the pcv on the valve cover that was blown. I could push air through it both ways. $40 later for an alloy upgrade one, all smoke gone, oil consumption completely stopped, so, not always valve seals. If you take your pcv off and its torn and pushes air both ways its trash
You have the Worst Bmw V8 motor Ever Made.
For interest here is how I fixed my diesel car with bmw m47 engine with bad smoke th-cam.com/video/sJFHvKIGHIA/w-d-xo.html
