Rick in Prescott is on a distinguished road
White smoke is usually an indicator of a blown head gasket or cracked head (burning coolant). Blue smoke would be oil. Our 00 328 started to use oil but in fact the oil was entering in to the coolant through a crack in the head between #4 and #5. BMW replaced the head with re-man and the probelm was gone.
