E39 540i smoking (not the tyres either!)

Hi

new to this forum, but had a few V8 BMW's over the years.

Sold my 840ci for a 540i (1997) 4.4, but it seems to have developed a smoking habit.

Whenever i start it up, after leaving it for about 15mins+ or overnight etc, it burns blue/white smoke for about 30 seconds on startup.

It also has developed a 'warbling' sound whenever i park it on my inclined drive

has anybody on this forum experienced this, or can you shed any light on these 2 faults - or are they related in someway.

thanks

mark
