Well, had the top off today and its def NOT the valve gaskets.

As I was saying earlier, the oil is on the TIP of the plug not the threads and coil etc.

Which is swaying towards the valve stem seals??, Everybody has said it was the gaskets but it wasn't.

I am looking at maybe doing the seals next

Bloody well sick, not even sure it is that.

Car seems to be running fine, however when you accelerate from a corner or occasionally open the throttle it puffs smoke from the right hand exhaust.If the car is stationary and it is quite heavily revved it blows smoke.
The mileage is 86k.
The car seems to accelerate ok and idles ok, I was speaking to a BMW "master" technician as he said something about back pressure from the cat being blocked??? Ever heard of this?
