Just realized I posted this question on the X2 board but probably more fitting here...

Did anyone that experienced this issue also have some smoking coming from the exhaust?

We’re looking for a 2017ish x1 for our teenage daughter. Test drove one yesterday and it drove great except on startup, it seemed to idle rough and felt like it was struggling to stay running. I didn’t spend enough time with it to see if it would go away after a while. We were pretty turned off so just left.

I had a similar issue with my f30 (minus the smoking) which was resolved with new plugs and coils. Originally I was thinking to run from this vehicle but now that I’ve slept on it, I’m wondering if it could be reasonable for me to manage and maintain myself. It’s a pretty good deal so that’s why I’m considering.
