08 S63 blowin white smoke and shaking??
Took my 08 S63 in for and oil change, picked it up and drove about 5-10 miles and it started shaking really bad and blowing black smoke out. Had no oil and the dip stick had black charred stuff on it, guessing it was oil. Tried starting it up and it shakes crazy and blows white smoke. Took it to a few local shops and said I need a new engine! They really didnt look too much into it just went by the visual signs. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Perform OBD2 dump and look at fault codes.
Change the oil, look for low level and contaminants.
Change the coolant and look for contaminants.
Perform compression test.
Remove cylinder heads.
Good luck

Were there any warnings for low oil level or low oil pressure?
White smoke usually means a gasket has failed and coolant is being ingested, but burnt oil on the dipstick suggests its game over.

No oil, driving it, turning it off, then still starting it with no oil...OUCH! No warning lamps on the cluster? This is going to be a very expensive repair if there was truly no oil in it. I would be right back at the place who changed the oil. Who did it and in what area by the way? So no one else goes there. Good luck.

Wow, so many things went wrong with your first post that I don't even know where to start. Luckily others chimed in to let you know how awful this is.
Good luck and keep us updated

well if its a 2008 hopefully you still have warranty but they may not cover your engine since it sounds like the oil change place. Too bad when you picked up the car there was no warning or error unless you didnt notice. plus it seems like you took your car to a "generic" oil change place I'm assuming?
Good luck and hope it doesnt cost you too much. I guess thats why they are called idiot lights...
