Blue Smoke on Startup

StarSailor · 05-19-2014, 12:51 AM

Hi chaps.

I have an E92 320d M Sport and have noticed that the car has recently started to emit a brief puff of blue smoke when starting up in the morning. There is no smoke at any other time - even during full-bore acceleration etc. The car has covered 51k with no modifications and is running absolutely fine - performance & economy are spot on. It is also covered with the BMW Insured warranty.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Should I get it booked in at the dealer?

Cheers.

turbo seal perhaps?Allowing a drip of oil into exhaust which you then see being burnt at start up?
