Whites smokes is vapour/steam usually happens in the morning when the car is cold. BLUE smokes from your tail pipe is the sign of engine oil burning in the engine combustion chambers. This is usually associated with bad piston rings or to certain extend bad oil seals. Honestly, if this is my car I wouldn't be too concerned as the rate of the oil consumption is not at alarming level. Just make sure you do routine oil & coolant check. As long as the oil level on the dip stick is between min & max you are fine. As for the rad. Coolant watch out for oil stains or milky sludge. If you see that then engine is in trouble As for the noise you hear after long stop, it could be the air pump working. Next time pop up the hood before you start the engine then listen where the noise is coming from. If I am right it should be from the black cylinder box on the left of the engine. Do keep us updated. I have known M Speed for more than 10 years. Ah Meng is good & he knows BMW very well.  Another good workshop I could suggest is Motoren in Sunway. They are good & very clean workshop.</blockquote>
