First post. I recently purchased a 2015 228i - on cold start after sitting overnight, it produces a large cloud of smoke out of the exhaust that clears up after about 10 seconds.

Did all F22s get the revised oil line with the restrictor/check valve from factory?

If so, do these lines fail? Or is it more likely to be a failed turbo?

How much smoke are you seeing? Moisture is normal and even a little blue smoke can be seen at times. Please further describe your situation.

By cold start, its around 25deg Celsius here. This video is almost identical to what I experience:

The smoke is white, so it's likely water vapor.

If you read the comments of the YouTube video, a new turbo unit fixed their issue. Furthermore the smoke from my car smells like burning oil.

So back to my original question. Was the F22 pipe revised or is it already fitted with restrictor? Has anyone had their N20 F22 recalled for a oil feed pipe?
