 Description of the problemCar is jumping forward when im coming to a stop at lights. Almost hit the car in front of me one time. It also shivers when turning slow or backing up and slowly acceleration. I can feel it in the steering so thought it might be a bad tire but realized upon research it could be drive train or power steering. Noticed smoke coming out of the front grill after arriving home from work a week ago. Lifted the hood and looked around. Saw fluid baked onto a nozzle but couldnt read what fluid compartment it was.. Just researched issues im having online and saw it is the power steering nozzle, which actually had a recall back the year my car was made for power steering fluid leaking onto the engine and causing fires! Scary stuff considering i had smoke coming out of engine grill last week.. My car has been at bmw service dept half of the time ive owned it because i notice it not feeling or driving correct for the engine i have and when i had warranty so many issue's were ignored and made worse by the horrible tech's they have. My turbo's have been leaking for a while causing my car to not perform 100%, they never advised me and always said car drove fine. My coolant was leaking badly and after dropping my car with them, they gave it back stating it was fixed. I drove for almost 2 weeks and realized the tech never put coolant back in and the list goes on..
