I'm not saying it happens to all cars, but it happens to all of mine everytime I do this and it happens to alot of other people over on the E39 board that I also visit. I had a 4-Runner before the X5 and didn't have a problem with that.

Yeah, that is what I believe to have been causing the engine knock and white smoke. Still don't know what's it causing it.
Is it because the engine isn't warm enough to be shut down so some engine oil got into the combustion chamber? So the next time you start up the engine it burns the engine oil causing the white smoke plus the knocks until the engine oil has been consumed?
