White Smoke!

in my experience from day to day driving the M60 has an exhaust system that can hold a lot of condensation. I wouldnt worry about it if its running fine. Even when the engine is up to operating temp and 30 minutes of driving the car will still have condensation at idle. especially in cold weather.

Markus thanks for the info, how do you like your car and how many miles do you have?

im getting close to 125k on it. Got it with 123,300 so I havent had it for that long. I love this car most out of all the BMWs I have had so far, which were a 1990 325i I had for 3 years and a 95 M3 I had for 6 months. I miss my M3 but the 540i is a lot more refined, roomier and just more quiet and the engine can run on the highway all day no problems. Its a great car. I did however dump some money into it but thats ok since I knew what I was getting into before I got it. But the only real repairs I had to do was just last week when my thermostat housing cracked so i replaced that along with the lower radiator hose and the thermostat and everything is fine again. I also replaced my thrust arms, idler arm, control arms, tierods, swaybar links and center link. The vibrations whiole braking are gone, I also replaced the engine and tranny mounts and that got rid of some vibrations too. I dont regret it one bit. I had a twisted seatbelt and fixed that and both my headrests for free. One of the bulbs in my dash cluster were burned out so i replaced all those for $3 at autozone. My next project is to finish the suspension with some new shocks because one of my fronts are blown and put new dogbones in the rear. I want to lower it with a nice spring and shock combo but im still deciding on which to get since I dont want something that will beat me up when going over bumps like the M3 did. I also plan on getting some 18 inch M parallel wheels in springtime too. And in addition to that doing the stainless brake lines and 850i front calipers and hubs. Yea its a long ways to go but again I dont mind doing it. Sure beats any new car for the price of this thing.
