Hey guys I have 540I that my dad had garaged and passed it on to me, black on black 6 speed.
It runs like total crap until it's fully warmed up. Is this normal?
Starts normal, then starts to rev up to 1000 RPM on it's own then back down. Thick white smoke/condensation(?) from exhaust within 3 minutes.
Then when I start to drive it, 1st gear it almost dies and hard to get above 1500RPM. It feels like it's trying to pass a huge turd and if I give it more gas it will start to back-fire.
10 minute or so after driving it's back to normal (no smoke etc).
It also some times (when cold) cuts off like when you do not clutch in properly if you go above 3k rpm. Just buckles like somebody hard braked it and accelerates back.
