My Ride: BMW 525 D E60
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Dear Sir,
I own a 2004 BMW 525D, the drives like new and seems there is no problem at all with the car. On my way to work today, I over-took a car and a big white smoke came of the exhaust together whit a smell of burning oil, be side this I also noticed that the turbo noise has changed to a rattling one. I' ve parked the car immediately, left the car for about 5 mins, and I've started again the car, a white smoke came out of the car again, I turned it off and the smoke continued to come out for a few seconds. This never happened to me, accidentily yesterday I have checked the oil level and it was marking to the MAX. The car is saying that the service is overdue by 280miles, I have the service booked on the 7th September 2012. To put you in the picture in which conditions car is driven, I live in Malta so the trips are very short in distance, this morning it was a foggy and moist weather here (I don't know if this might be relevant). Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Roderick

I had a GMC diesel truck for over 10 years (duramax engine). They had injector issues resulting in white smoke. You may have an injector dumping more fuel into a cylinder than needed, resulting in diesel vapor (white smoke)out the tail pipe. Get down take a whiff of the exhaust and see if you can smell the raw diesel. Be careful, it will get on your clothes and you will smell like fuel all day.
A fuel system pressure test should be able to detect an out of spec pressure issue.
