Smoke

Anyone had issues with their exhaust, I have observed that my exhaust on left smokes more than the right one and its getting darker than the one on the right.

Any ideas to what is causing this issue?

My X5m smokes on hard acceleration. I clearly see a big plume of smoke come out after a WOT pull from down low. I know these cars are tuned to the rich side but good god that's a lot of smoke.. Anyone else get this??

Right before BMW replaced all 8 injectors and plugs.

Between the smoke and slow starts, they replaced them under good will.

It depends on which engine you are talking about.

You're not driving it correctly. Drive it GTA style all the time and your problem will be solved.
