i really think i have two totally separated pipes (one per bank). this is what i have under my car
FRONT: RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog BACK: RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog and when i was below the car, and here on the pictures i see no flapper. but i did see on some earlier bmw there was a flap you are talking about. where should flapper be located if i had one so i can go and check? well i did remove my throttle body but it was hard to see whats on the bottom because of variable intake runners... but i did see it was not clear metal.. i did put some stick inside to see if it will get dirty. there was a layer of oil in there... so not a puddle but it was oily... could that be the reason for smoke even i have removed eventual source of oil supply to intake? or there is another way for oil to get in there? and i do not know exact construction of this intake and variable runners, is it possible that oil is pulled only into one head? |

I would assume with both pipes going to one muffler the right & left mix. Then expel out the two tailpipes, so you can't differentiate between the two banks.

i definitely have two independent OEM pipes. i just got back from the car. no flapper, no X pipe... just OEM stuff from realoem web site. and as i said i am getting smoke only from one side so what makes you think they are connected to each other? than i would have smoke on both pipes... no?
AAAND... i have just checked my plugs expecting to see some (or all) of them on my drivers bank to be black and others to be burnt so i could finally know what problem do i have BUT... all 8 plugs are absolutely the same, and totally burnt in the middle and black carbon layer on the outer ring... here are some pictures. and now new questions... if i am getting smoke only on one side why are all of my plugs the same? i have my CCV hoses disconnected and still i have blue smoke after 10 min idle... now i just want to drive for another couple of hundreds miles just to see if something is going to change with hoses disconnected but other than that i have no clue what to do next. ok i could do the valve seals and all the gaskets but what if i have some other problem? i would like to know before i start opening the engine so i can do it all at once. sooo... thanx for any new useful info. https://s32.postimg.org/vuwhr4ndx/cyl1.jpg https://s32.postimg.org/vxwj6h8jp/cyl3.jpg https://s31.postimg.org/jz28ug4t7/cyl5.jpg https://s32.postimg.org/4ixn1gglx/cyl6.jpg |
