    Smoke on start up

    I have a 97 m3 and since I got the car it had smoked horribly on start up. I was going through coolant all the time and found it to be a busted radiator. I changed the radiator and all the hoses and no more smoke.

    Might want to do a compression check to see that the engine is still healthy.
