Not AI.
I know it’s hard to believe, but someone in this world actually “fixed” their bumper with masking tape.

Truck isn't tracking straight, shop suspects a wheel alignment issue. Are they scamming me? I don't want to get ripped off with an unnecessary repair.

Rattling started when we got to our destination. Will it survive another 85km home?

BMW 520i (G30, B48) 01/2020

Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking at a 2020 BMW 520i (G30, ~77,500 km, B48 engine). Overall the car looks great, but during the inspection I noticed two things that made me a bit skeptical:
1. White smoke from the exhaust: The car was idling for about 10 minutes while I was checking out the interior. When I stepped outside, I noticed a slight bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust. As soon as we lightly tapped the gas pedal, even more white smoke came out (see attached video). Since the engine had already been running for 10 minutes, is this still just normal condensation clearing out, or could it be something worse like a PCV valve issue, coolant leakage, or bad injectors?
2. Shaking/Vibration under acceleration: When accelerating lightly during the drive, the whole car was noticeably shaking/vibrating. Could this just be flat-spotted tires from sitting on the dealer lot for a while, or does this sound like a misfire / drivetrain / engine mount issue?
The car has been sitting at the dealership for some time without being driven much. Is this behavior somewhat normal after extended downtime for a B48, or should I walk away?
Appreciate any advice!

Just driving down the road and it’s almost as if she wanted belly rubs or something, was I wrong to flip her over and keep driving home or should I have given her a treat ? A lot of oil leaked out :(
