Hi everyone im Quintin and new on this forum...
Ive got a 2008 e90 320i a/t just bought the car 5days ago the dealer told me that the cars valve stem seals will need to be replaced bcos it has a little smoke sometimes yesterday when we got home my wife parked the car and i told her to rev the car a bit there where a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust. Iwould just like to know could the valve stem seals cause that much smoke?
Thanx for any help guys have a nice day

Yes they make allot of smoke if you let it idle for a while and then give it a rev. Simple job that takes the dealer about 3 hours.

Yes take it to Paarlberg. Im also from Thornton and my dads BMW and sisters BMW and my BMW goes to them only(no matter how small or big the problem it will only go to them). You can go there they will bring you back home. After paymant they will even deliver your car to your door.
