e90 320D Blue smoke and service

[Picard]

Mmm...so I noticed when the Fiance pulled off in my car this morning a small puff of blue smoke on my 2011 320d with 112k km's.

I did a bit of googling and didn't really find anything. You guys have any experience with this? Hoping it's not something serious?

Now, I'm doing a service in 4000km and am thinking of changing Oil (Shell Helix Ultra 5w40) Oil Filter, Air Filter, Cabin filter, Diesel filter and the Oil breather.

Any other suggestions on what I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Isn't it normal for oil burners to smoke a little on pull off?

Car was cold? Been sitting over night?

Nah...Drove to work. Parked it for about an hour or so and then she left. Started up fine...and then as I saw her drive off I noticed a small puff at the exhaust. Was def blue.

I've always known diesels to puff out a little...but this caught me as it was blue...which I would think means oil.

Mmmm..this is interesting. I called BMW for a quote on the spares. Apparently my car doesn't have a oil breather that needs to be replaced? I'm assuming mine would not have the "loo" type one and a more updated one?
