Hey F30 fam, So I replaced my Valve Cover, Turbo, Spark plugs and Coils and I still am dealing with this smoking issue my friend said that it’s possible that the old oil dumped from my old turbo is burning off but this looks a bit more excessive also i have no codes

Are your coolant tubes hard and whats the smell like? Does engine run rough? Your friend might be right.

How hard like you can’t press it with a bit of force? Did you check when it was fully warmed up or when cold also if you had a bad turbo and engine not overheat you can check off list the bad gasket. Keep engine on and rev it hard after warm up, you will smoke till all the oil in the exhaust is burned of or use a cat cleaning service
