White Smoke From Exhaust = Bad Turbo Seal?
I'm catless right now and every few days I'll get white smoke coming out of my driver side exhaust and sometimes my passenger side when I come to a stop or when I'm idling. The smoke is kinda thick and is white and smells like burnt oil. I'm also down 1/2 quart of oil from driving about a month since my last oil change so I'm thinking oil is leaking into my turbo. I have no error codes for low boost or anything and no check engine lights. I think my turbo is fine except for the turbo seal and I'm worried about the loss of oil and the smoke from my exhaust. Does anyone have experience like mine or can someone tell me the symptoms of a bad turbo seal. Thanks

I have the same problem with my 135i. I had catless downpipes catless midpipes muffler delete. I was thinking it happened after i went full straight pipe. I was thinking no restriction so smoke would go out of my exhaust, mine was crazy smoke like embarrasing! lol I put my stock downpipes back on and it stopped smoking. Looks like we both need catted downpipes now!
