Hey zoners, I've been enjoying my new touring but have noticed that there is slight smoking/misting from the exhaust. Not blue smoke on start up or heavy white smoke, it's just like when you start a car on cold morning type thing??? It doesnt smell or get worse when the car is hot cold... Or when put under load! Is this normal, could it just be running rich or lean?? Injectors need cleaned?? Anyone else have this or am I being paranoid?? So....

Any pointers would be great!

Condensation from the cold damp mornings? Are you putting more fuel in that you usually would, does it run any different?

Intersted in this thread because my 90 318 touring is similar...It hadnt been run for months before I fixed her & my first half tank was premium ( as a treat!) just wondered if it was too rich for her?
