Consumer Description
My vehicle’s engine spews smoke after driving for ten minutes or more. In addition, a toxic odor comes into the cabin when the A/C is on. There are no visible oil or fluid leaks in the engine or the driveway where I park the car. It’s possible that the problem is due to the active recall described below. BMW has failed to find a solution in a timely manner to the following NHTSA recall: ENGINE COOLANT PUMP: The electrical connector of the engine coolant pump could become damaged. Small drops of liquid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could drip down onto the electrical connector of the pump.
