Coolant smell and smoke on 2012 50i.

When I got back from a 80 mile ride I shut my engine off I smelled coolant and I saw smoking From underneath the hood. Could not see any leak so let the car cool down overnight check the reservoir and very little coolant needed to added. Differently smelling coolant but cannot find the source. Seems like smoke or steam is coming from underneath turbos. Is there a bleed to add coolant?

If it's under warranty you should bring it in there may be a fix from BMW. There is a customer care package for that engine. It may even extend beyond the warranty.
