Help diagnose a problem

Ive been having this issue with my 135 and need some help. I start the car in the morning and drive it to work everything is normal, when i restart it 3-4 hours later as i drive a gray smoke cloud appears behind me for 2 mins then its gone. Anyone has faced similar problem? I have no oil consumption whatsoever.
thanks in advance

Is it smoke or vapor? Do you have to top up the coolant every so often?
Could possibly be a head gasket. Take it to a good BMW indy so be checked.

no its a gray smoke. never had to top the coolant level its always full. probably will end up doing that but i was hoping to figure out if it was maybe bad turbos.
