From spooky noises in your engine to foul smells coming from the hood, know the scary signs that may be lurking within your BMW.
Smells: Anything from burning oil or burning metal smells from the radiator can indicate an overheated engine. Serious engine damage can occur with frequent overheating, so make sure the devil, himself, isn’t hiding under your hood.
Burning smells (along with other symptoms) can also indicate transmission problems and/or failure, overheated brake pads, a worn clutch, and more. Food smells, like rotten eggs, may be your catalytic converter, and smells of maple syrup may mean your have a coolant leak.
Don't end up on the side of the road with an overheated engine.
