the car shakes and there is black smoke covering the back
Hi guys,
Recently my car went to dealership for drivetrain malfunction since it was shaking really bad. They claimed they fixed it but sometimes I still get some minor shakes while waiting behind red lights. Also everytime I take the car to carwash, the back is covered with these black particles (i think its black smoke) as soon as I get home. Has any of you experianced such a thing? I have a 2012 650i xdrive. I have attached some pics right after carwash. Is it normal to have the back covered in those smokes in winter? Thanks in advance |

No I haven't done in modifications to engine or the exhaust.. I have gone to dealership for at least 8-9 different issues in the past 9months that I just sometimes want to avoid it )
but I guess I should go there again. I would like to direct them though since they keep changing stuff that are not really the issue there. |

this is what SA told me:
So I have shown my workshop foremen the pictures you have sent me and explained your concern on the condition of the rear trunk and bumper. He has advised to me that this would not be caused by the exhaust system and that it would defiantly be caused by dirt from the road. Hope this helps but besides that we will see you on the 17th. |

My car doesn't shake but it has the same black dirt on the rear like yours. Since it is white it is very noticeable, I always assumed it was from exhaust since the rest of the car doesn't have it.

the reason for the shaking of the car body & the smoke coming out of the exhaust tailpipes is due to excessive fuel getting dumped by the fuel injectors. Sometimes this can ruin the catalytic converters and foul out the spark plugs.
In my case it blew a hole out of the side of the catalytic converter and a fireball escaped upwards and burnt the foam hood insulator material. In my case the DME banks failed, which caused the high pressure fuel pump to fail and so on... It's a big problem with these high pressure (2900PSI) fuel delivery systems and BMW has a major quality & safety issue on their hands. Of course I'm speaking from my own experience here. |
