New here, got a 2nd Beemer...same problem as you, burnt smell. WS says need to replace Engine Valve Cover. After replacing cover no longer has smoke coming out from bonnet area and no burnt smell.
Previously only notice the white smoke when start car, after 1min or so the smoke seems to disappear.
I deduce that when u start car the heat is probably burning of oil spilt from yesterday's drive, after engine shut maybe never burn off completely. So next morning when u start car it will continue to burn of the excess oil. After u drive of you won't be able to see the smoke as the wind will carry the smoke to the back from below or wherever.
But when u come to a stop after 5sec or so you should be able to see the smoke.
Anyway just a guess on my part. Cos some WS says white smoke in the morning is normal....Do note It's NOT NORMAL.

Re: Signs of "Eating" Engine Oil.........
The smoke comes from the bonnet because engine oil leaked upon the exhaust pipe (just after or below engine). When morning engine starts, the heat from the exhaust pipe vaporise the engine oil on it, so white smoke coming from your bonnet. Check for the leak and repair it. Mine was done at R2D during my e46 days

Re: Signs of "Eating" Engine Oil.........
u can follow Aaron thread that was made sticky - white smoke xxxxxxx
a lot of owners here go to this WS in permas jaya, costing average of 1000rm and takes 3 hours dedicated. (provided there is no other cars doing this same valve seal repairs, only 2 mechanics are skilled in this task)
It is my assumption that your valve seals are worn, and I might be wrong. If so, the above do not apply.
For sharing - watch the mechanic do it instead of lazing around, and insist that NO SEALANT is used to glue your new rubber gaskets.

if you are changing your valve seals, if you plan to keep the car for long, can pay a bit more and change the piston rings. more horses freed up via less blow by
