Sunny Hypersonic August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 between juzz4cars and R2D, i will choose R2D smoke at bonnet is likely due to the rubber gasket hardened+cracks at engine area. Engine oil leaks to hot turbo part, causing some sizzling of engine oil spills change cost around $600+ (for F30) half day job usually every 3~5 years needs change 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic August 16, 2018 Author Share August 16, 2018 must see wat gaskets also. if head gasket burn , with radiator burst. i think 3.3k is very reasonable ok to be fair, that's an over the phone quote by R2D based on what performance told him. My friend is driving down later in the afternoon. maybe will turn out cheaper ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
