BMW 320i 2015 N20 Engine
Hi
I recently bought a BMW 320i 2015 and its downpiped got a custom stage 1 software the car is on 270km. I was driving normally and felt that the idle got rough as soon as I accelerated white smoke started coming out from the exhaust pipe and stopped and saw the right side of the engine was drenched in oil don't know where it came from The mechanic i took it too for service did put 10 litres of oil in the car i told him it only needed 5 but he said he knows what he's doing and I've looked and I see no holes in the engine but it looks like it came out from the oil cap |

So... after that, is your mechanic still knowing what he is doing?

Yes… even with correct oil volume, the VCG is prone to blow. Already exchanged on mine when it was 15,000 miles and just above the warranty time 4 years… so they fixed under warranty. I know it is low mileage.
