Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE CAR DAILY THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST PIPE ONLY. RESEARCH SHOWS AND BMW CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY OIL LINE HAT IS THE CAUSE AND CAN ALSO EFFECT THE TURBO CHARGE. MY QUESTION IS THAT HIS IS THE EXACT SAME OIL LINE IN OTHER BMW VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEN WHY IS THIS MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PARR &PROBLEM NOT PART OF THE EMISSIONS REDUCTION RECALLS WHEN IT DOING THE IDENTICAL SAME THING. ON COLD MORNINGS FORGET ABOUT IT. THE SMOKE IS SO DENSE THAT IT COVERS THE WHOLE BLOCK. I CAN'T EVEN PARK IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE FROM FEAR OF GETTING DEATHLY ILL AND THE HEADACHES ARE MIND NUMBING. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY SOME GET RECALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUES? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. BLESSINGS.
