What can low oil do to my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive engine?

How hard is it to change BMW Alpina B7 xDrive oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
