Hi. I have a 1997 528i with 100,000 miles on it. lately I have noticed a smoky burning smell coming through my vents inside the car when I use the heater. It does not come through when I am using the a/c. The other day while waiting in line at the bank I could even see a little smoke coming from the vents. It seems to go away as fast as it comes. Anybody have any idea what this could be? I also notice my Trans shifts hard when car is cold. Thanks.

Burning smell is burning smell......Foggy winshield, oily winshield, fog through vents is NOT burning oil. The latter symptoms are related to heater core. Which one is it?
