Bear with me, I'm a novice. I just replaced a dead battery on a '86 528e that had not been cranked in 3 months. The car belongs to my neighbor and I am considering buying it. After connecting the second terminal, smoke immediately came from underneath the engine. I disconnected the battery immediately. Out of morbid curiosity I tried it again with the same result. What could be causing this?
