“There was a technical service bulletin issued on my bmw regarding a broken or leaking valve which could break in low temperature weather conditions. I did break down, finding myself in a smoking car, both inside and out in 6 degree weather. It has been three weeks and my car is still at the dealership. They said I have a cracked valve cover.
