The rev limiter in theory should prevent ANY over revving of the engine.......not that its of course good to bounce the limiter

could be seals in turbo if they go the oil gets into the intake side then goes into engine and combusts like deisel
the revs go right up usually until the engine runs out of oil unless you can stop it usually by stalling it i saw a clip on u tube
of a X5 3 litre deisel doing this exactly same symptoms as yours engine revs to max and piles of white smoke
the owners desperate to try and switch it off
hope it is not this in your case because there could be engine damage

I have been told by an old family friend, who has been a bimmer main agent mechanic for 30 year and still is. He said I might be lucky and have no engine damage...but wear and tear obviously. He said he fixed an e60 last week with the exact same problem, so therefore this make diagnosing my problem easy.
My car was car started. It was very underpowered. Once revved it started screaming at max revs with white smoke....then it has to be stalled.
He said I will need a new turbo and cat. As to the damage. This will only be known once the turbo and cat has been fitted and the car is used under driving load.

I might write to them to ask why they are not replacing these breather filters in the service schedule, while i am at it will also be asking them why the inlet flaps are not inspected for signs of wear every 50,000 miles.

I'm gonna have nightmares about this now, that is horrendous. Anyone know what you can do if this happens? I dread to think of this happening in an auto in drive, its an auto that I have which is quick at the best of times.
I imagine the only course of action in an auto is to slip it in to neutral, and stop as soon as possible. I believe there are specialist firms around who will refurbish turbos, and I wonder if it would be a wise move to go down this road after 70K or 80K mls? I think a new turbo is around ?1K, and IIRC, a refurb one is something like ?400. Hopefully Indyjatboy hasn't got too much damage, but unfortunately, in worst case situations, a repair bill for a new engine, turbo, etc., could amount to about ?12K - without even thinking of the safety aspect involved!
