Owner Complaints (3)
While driving at 35-40 mph, your car's wheels suddenly locked up and the vehicle stopped, leaving skid marks on the road. The car had to be towed away because it won't move in any gear (neutral, reverse, or drive), even though the engine is running. This could involve a transmission failure or brake system malfunction that needs professional diagnosis.

Your car is producing excessive white smoke from the exhaust pipes while driving and at idle, creating a visible cloud that reduces visibility for drivers behind you on city streets. This smoke is filling the surrounding area and could be a safety concern for other vehicles. The issue may involve the engine's combustion or cooling system and could require diagnosis and repair of the exhaust or engine components.

WHEN DRIVING A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE BACK EXHAUST PIPES AND FILLS THE STREETS UP WITH SMOKE WHY PASSENGERS CARS ARE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC. OTHER CARS CAN NOT SEE AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS DUE TO CAR HAVING A UNSAFE BAD ENGINE VALVE SEAL LEAK. BMW KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME AND THEY FAIL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THE VALVE SEALS LEAKING AND CAUSING SMOKE IN TRAFFIC.
