What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 BMW 335I. While driving, the vehicle started to overheat. The contact noticed smoke under the hood while the vehicle was idling. Upon further inspection, the contact could not determine the location of the smoke. The engine malfunction indicator illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. There was no fire.
Took car to dealer to check why I am losing oil. As I suspected, slight oil leak is hitting a hot engine part, evaporating, and not showing on the ground.
