So recently my 16 m4 has been blowing smoke from exhaust , once car is warmed up. Not a crazy amount but definitely noticeable. When accelerating and slowing down, it doesn't do it everytime u drive it but definitely becoming more often. Once at a stop it blew out a really good amount and had a burningishh smell to it.
No CEL light.
Anyone experienced this before?

Ive seen on the n54 the turbo seals break and smokes comes out. Not saying it’s turbo seal though. These cars got good parts. Are you running catless?

Turbo journal bearing seals or inter cooler leak seem to be the usual suspects.
