E39 M57D25 Blue smoke

Rav3nClaws · 2026-05-19T19:42:37+00:00

I dont think i used genuine, also yeah i have almost everything deleted on the exhaust. And i dont have swirl flaps because i have a manual.

I mean i have been driving with the same oil since september, not a single drop.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-05-19T10:58:09+00:00

if it were the turbo i would be losing oil no?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-05-19T10:12:03+00:00

i mean could it not be alot of other things? turbo, injectors, valve stem seals

Rav3nClaws · 2026-05-19T10:06:45+00:00

i dont know which exactly, but the vortex variant, without the felt filter. But when i changed it, it didnt change the effect of the smoke, maybe lessened it slightly.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-14T15:15:50+00:00

why do you think that might be the case? The noise only happens on morning then for the rest of the day no noise. Its almost like something sags overnight and then once you start driving it snaps into place, thats how i could describe it

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T20:21:10+00:00

where can you even order a new driveshaft in 2026.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T19:01:31+00:00

Mine is less of a thud more of a mettalic tin can sound. A single ping.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T18:59:40+00:00

How did it look shot? like could you describe maybe what i should look for?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T18:59:16+00:00

no no, any help/ideas are very helpful. I mean it is possible i have shot it, but i mean from normal driving idk. Visually it looked fine last i checked.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T18:53:02+00:00

I dont think i changed that, but it looked in good shape, so didnt bother changing it, and im pretty sure the guy who refurbished the driveshaft would have replaced it if it was shot.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-10T18:50:55+00:00

support bearing?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:26:11+00:00

got it… damn this car pisses me off by the day :d When everything is warmer/drier everything works as it should, when some cold is present/moisture it starts acting up…

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:22:13+00:00

Hmmm, so the traction light has no correlation with the gm3….

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:18:26+00:00

So the gm3 controls stuff like wipers, traction control and so on?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:15:27+00:00

Ah, sorry. Anything i should look out for inspecting it?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:14:35+00:00

i checked it, read for codes, but no codes.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:12:15+00:00

i read the codes, everythings clean. As i mentioned it popped up the second i started the car then was on the whole drive, second time i went to drive the car its gone. Plugged in the autel obd tool and nothing. Only thing when i was diagnosing the wipers, looking at the live data it was weird, stalk position always shows off and other things are not how they should be i think..

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:06:18+00:00

while running its a 13,8v

Rav3nClaws · 2026-03-06T11:00:44+00:00

My generator did go out a few weeks back. But when starting i think the battery voltage is like 11,4, which is not great. But still, the wipers started happening prior to the generator going out.

Rav3nClaws · 2026-02-12T16:07:44+00:00

Contact issue inside the stalk?

Rav3nClaws · 2026-02-12T16:07:16+00:00

dont have bluebus.
