Goodmorning folks,
I have an issue with my M50 swapped 318i. I was driving around in it for a little bit when I noticed a huge amount of blue smoke. Like actually blinding traffic 200 meters behind me.
The entire engine is rebuilt top to bottom but it still does the exact same thing. I checked the entire PCV system and it's fine. The engine is losing a huge amount of oil: 3 liters / 100 km.
There is oil on the bottom of my car underneath the driver seat position. Nothing seems to be leaking ( something obviously is but I cannot seem to find it! ) and there is gasoline mixed with my oil.
The oil cap smells like gas, the dipstick does and the oil drips off like it's water. The car also smells like gas and the exhaust which was fitted new a week ago is pitch black and dripping gasoline.
I am mind blown and can not seem to find the issue. Yes it has new valve stem seals, new piston rings and a new headgasket.
I changed the fuel pressure regulator which was leaky but that doesn't seem to fix the issue either.
The smoke is just a normal damp gray ish color when idling and turns dark blue if you even slightly hit the gas and puffs big clouds when you floor it.
I've been to a BMW dealer, a BMW specialist and a regular garage and they are all mind blown and can't seem to find it.
I'm hoping one of you has any idea what could cause this because I'm on the brink of buying a new engine which I don't think will solve the problem because the engine itsself seems to be perfectly fine. Compression is perfect and it runs super smooth, but you can hear the oil is not doing its proper work as you can actually hear the gas taking away its lubricating function.
