My BMW 745I (2004) start burning oil; not leaking but comsuming (no smell either). I could see exhust in morning when idling and excellarating. Once car was warm, no exhaust; unless idling for a minute or more. Spark pugs were changed on 24 Sept 2010 and oil added (warning light; low oil came on) Oil was change 43 days before light came on. After spark pugs and oil were added today; car is now displaying engine malfunction, do not excellarate fast, and rough idle. Can you repair this type car and problem. I don't want to have to take it to Tallahassee?
