Hello. I had a question if anyone here experienced what I'm experiencing on my 2001 4.4i x5. Recently had the Oil separator replaced, intake manifold gaskets since there was oil in them. Before i had the Oil separator replaced there was this sound on the engine and it puffs out white smoke. Had it replaced and still them same thing. Noise and smoke coming out where i cannot drive it around i might get a ticket. Funny thing is when i picked my car up from my mechanic (His not familiar with BMW's but had a BMW tech to check it) it was running great. BUt right when i was about to pull in the drive way rough idle and white smoke. Here is the video of the noise sounds like something spooling up lol or a whine. Any comments or suggestions would help me a lot. Thanks!
Andre
