NEAR MISS A COUPLE TIMES..........WHENEVER SITTING STILL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN GO TO TAKE OFF THERE IS A BIG BLUISH GRAY SMOKE CLOUD. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF THEN DO A JERKY STOP AND GO AGAIN. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MANY OF TIMES. IF SITTING SOMEWHERE FOR LONGER THEN 2-3 MINUTES THE CAR IS SURROUNDED BY THIS SMOKE. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH BMW. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH ISSUE. *TR
