Head gasket leak

DEAN325i · 03-30-2006, 01:33 AM

As the topic says. Interesting how that happened already to a fairly brand new car w/ 12,000 miles. I dont even abuse the car. Anyway, i noticed that a burning oil smell would come out of the vents when the car was still warming up, then eventually go away. Brought it to the dealer, and found out there was a leak. So there just waiting on the part to replace it. Is this a commom problem with bimmers? This is my first one, so i dont know.

But as for my loaner, I have a Dodge Charger w/ a HEMI engine. So i dont mind them having my car for a couple more days cuz im having so much fun with this car. Lots of torque=lots of fish tailing. It hauls ass!
