I have a 2013 135is with the N55 and recently my car has been giving me white smoke when stopped coming from the hood, a burnt rubber smell, and some oil crackling sound from the engine bay. I got an oil change about 2 or 3 weeks ago so I was hoping it was a excess that would burn off. sorry I'm still learning to be a car guy lol, any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Could be a cracked valve cover, but that would take some good snooping around to find. Remove as many as the plastic covers as you can and look around everwhere the cover meets the block, and any small recess in the cover for fluid to pool.

Could also be Oil Filter Housing Gasket, I've heard the oil like to seep and find it's way around to the passenger side sometimes and then down the engine.

+1 for the OFHG. I'd start there, remove the front air duct covering the drive belt and take a good look under the housing and the front of the block.
