Pardon me... What shd be the reasonable reaction ?

 

Since this is not intentional action by the driver, I also see no reason to be angry or upset le... unlike that joker who jam brake and really cause chain collision and one death

 

The question is also - did the driver take due care of the car - in terms of maintenance.

example, If a driver don't care about his tyres - and is driving with bald tyres, it is not good.

I drive an e90, and it is truly a problematic car. The operating temperature is ~110 degrees Celsius, and this high operating temperature causes a lot of parts to fail. Oil and coolant leaks are commonplace. Once oil and coolant are empty, engine overheats and kaput!

I just some sort of yellowtop taxi (a wagon?) in the opposite lane spewing what looked like a lot of white smoke.

I think this is becoming contagious!

If 110 degree, your car definitely needs checkup. Normal operating temp is 100 degree.

Check BMW-SG, where other local e90 drivers also state their operating temperature.

Agree... Pls maintain & upkeep the car, it is the responsibility of all car drivers, car breakdown on the road cause inconvenience to driver himself /herself and other road users too...

Noob here. What's AOS

 

It's Air Oil Separator. This device lower built-up pressure in engine crankcase by venting the pressure into intake, if it's damaged airflow will increase to a level that engine oil gets sucked too... hence, smoking gun :wacko:

Last time from far I saw the junction in front was covered in white smoke, thought maybe there was some fugimation going on nearby. Then a van drove by on the opposite side of the road with the trail of white smoke :D Whole junction and road was covered like someone threw smoke grenades.

The second car in front of me, a greenish silver BMW E90 with SGJ plate suddenly emitted a lot of white smoke from his exhaust and the effect was almost like a smoke bomb, enough to decrease visibility to almost zero across 3 lanes.

 

 

It happened to me once at night and it scared the hell out of me as I thought my car was going to be burn up. Couldn't tell if it's blue or white smoke. Till this day, I couldn't figure out how a failed alternator could smoke the hell out of the GS300.
