Exhaust ploom question:

MMVI · 10-13-2005, 02:45 PM

Has anyone with a 6 cylinder car noticed what seems to be a lot of ploom from the Exhuast. It does not seem to be oil, could it be steam.

It is getting colder here in the UK but I dont see other cars making as much.

My car has only done 800 miles so far.

6 Cylinder BMW's have always made that "steam" when the weather starts getting cold, especially when they are new

Yeah, mine pumps out tons of smoke when it's cold

It's just starting to cool here in the mid-Alantic US in the nights. I haven't had a chance to notice yet.

I took delivery in July/August and didn't notice too much, but now with the cooler weather, I've noticed that it steams alot in the morning.
