Need Help.. Turbo Seal?? White smoke!

vertm3freak · 05-26-2013, 03:49 AM

Hi everyone, I'm new to e90post forum as i just sold my E46 M3 and bought a 2007 335i.
I just noticed a couple days ago some smoke coming out of the exhaust that smells a little like oil burning. After doing a little research i believe my turbo seals are going bad. I was wondering how much do they cost?
is this fixable or i would have to get a new turbo? Any help would be appreciated.

i had the same issue, had my turbos replaced and it's gone for now. dealer told me another issue that may cause the smoke is leaky valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets. Only way to fix bad turbo seals is to get new turbos. check if your turbos are covered under warranty
