Sounds like you may have injector issue that so many have faced.

This sounds expensive!!any one had this replaced before?

There are numerous posts about the injector issue on this forum, you should search. For the 50i models, there is a recall that BMW is calling a Customer Care Package which should pay for any repairs if you issue is with the injectors/vent valves.

Hey,
I saw your post about doing the N63 recall, so you should know about it. White smoke is either oil or coolant burning. The recall has to cover this as they did something wrong when putting parts back on the recall. Mine is doing the same white smoke after the recall work was done.
