My bmw e46 320d have a thick white smoke smell like diesel when I start it. when reffing there is much more smoke. Model 2001/2002. What can the problem be

If they do have a reset button it is normally underneath.

Either a transformer from 230v down to your 110v which will be roughly as big as your blender or a new motor and new pcb assy.

Remove beaker, remove big black rubber part from top of motor housing. At the back just below the gear you will see a small dob of white silicone, dig it out. That will reveal a gap to allow you to put an allen key in there. Inspect the top flange of the "gear" carefully, there is a nearly invisible arrow or marking in one place. Line that up with the gap at the back, that is where the allen screw is.Undo it and lift the gear off. Read the instructions that come with the new gear.

It sounds like the motor is overheating, how long will it run with no beaker on it? If still 45 seconds I'd say new motor time. If it runs for 5 or 10 minutes then I would say replace the blade and bearing assembly in the beaker.

On the Vitamix blender models we have here in NZ it is not possible to repack the bearings, you just purchase a new blade assembly complete with bearings and the driving clutch.
