Thanks, I'll have a look at that.. That really sounds like what is happening to me. If you don't mind, roughly how much did you pay to fix it?

Gonna take it to the shop tuesday if i cant figure out where it's coming from.

It could be the reserve tank that hold coolant try changing the cap . It happend to me once on my 745li I was getting smoke and it was raining or snowing but no leak eventually it was the cap . I replace it and problem went away .
