The smoking issue sounds like valve stem seals. Especially if you are adding oil at that pace. What oil do you use?

Try adding some AT-205 to your oil to recondition the seals. On your next oil change you can add some Lucas Oil Stabilizer as well. That's how I keep the oil consumption (and smoking issue) in check on my N62 V8 powered X5.
bmw sounds like they run like a ferrari but without the thrill
