| Steam / Gas front Passenger Side |

Every now and then seem to see gas / steam from under the engine on passenger side does it for a minute or so then stops. Suspension seems to be working fine thoughts?

I did have to get out when mine started smoking from the f NS corner.
Only usually seen when stationary.
One question though......
Am I being gassed to death when its running..........where do all the fumes go???

Dave, it goes out o fthe little exhaust without any catalytic converter or DPF, so yes, you get a nice rich diesel fume smell. Standing next to mine when it's running, you get a definate gas! Bodsys Brake Bible

Makes me chuckle every time I see post with this type of title
No offence, just that it is probably one of the most asked questions, do the dealers ever explain it at hand-over?? 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto
