white smoke when idling

have anyone experience white smoke coming out their exhaust when idling for about 4-5 mins. I have 2012 x5 50

And I had a bad injector. I would get white clouds coming out at random times.

Could be a number of things... Pretty much your dealer would have to look into it.

There are a lot of posts about this.
The common one is the valve steam seals on N62 and N63 engines.

Saw it for the first time on my 35i this morning. Did it when idling for roughly 5 minutes or so, then went away. Cars runs perfectly fine.
