Send it to a work shop to do a pressure test. I did mine at sin Ming, As i had an extended warranty on the car from TWM warranty.

White smoke is a symptom of the coolant getting burned in the combustion chamber and is an almost confirmed tell tale sign of a leaking head gasket. I blew up my old car's engine cos I ignored it and eventually coolant got in and I got hydrolocked. Better get your engine to the workshop ASAP before it does more damage.

You'll usually need to do a top overhaul to fix a blown head gasket.

If it's leaking engine oil the smoke should be blue or black, not white.

is your car still under warranty? otherwise you can try KBS. or R2D send it to someone who is familiar with bmw. Kang auto is for the general public consumption, they hire mostly chinese nationals who really dont care much about your car.
details can be found in the sponsor links.

Unfortunately it is out of warranty. I sent to this workshop Cyber Car, it is located at Shell's station along Havelock Road (next to Holiday Inn)
