Some BMW Z4 owners report experiencing white smoke upon startup, which may indicate a coolant leak or a leaking head gasket. This white smoke can be thick and persistent, often accompanied by a noticeable smell, suggesting a more serious issue. Additionally, some owners have noted shaking or rough running of the vehicle, which could be related to the white smoke emission and may lead to potential engine overheating if not diagnosed promptly. It is recommended that owners monitor the temperature gauge and coolant level closely, and seek assistance from a specialist or mechanic to address these concerns. Prompt attention to these issues is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the BMW Z4.
