oops

Driving it last night on my way out, the temp shot up, the heaters blowing cold, white smoke from the rear and the radiator was stone cold.

My guess would be the headgasket, so it looks like the beemer is stopping for a while longer

Instead of having it done by a garage i'm thinking about going for a 2.5 or doing a 2.7 conversion (using the 525e block)
