Hello everyone,
So I got a 96 M3 with a s50 intake conversion on a s52 block and head. I've had the car since last October and ever since I bought it, it has been burning oil and I always get a very strong exhaust smell of mostly burnt oil. I'm running stock headers, catless pipes and an AA exhaust and resonator. The only time I see blue smoke is when I come to a stop after the engine is warmed up and I've been driving for about 15 min. I come to a stop and if I tap the gas, I see smoke roll over my car. I've replace the VCG, the CCV, oil pan gasket, and oil filter housing gasket.
I'm almost at a loss with it so if anyone has had similar symptoms or might know what is going on that would be great. I have a feeling it is my valve stem seals but I don't get any smoke on startup and I don't think it is the piston rings because it doesn't smoke when it is moving.
Please help!
