Own a 1995 BMW 530I and the car smokes from underneath the hood - overheating is all you can think of yet there is no puddle of coolant on the ground what should you be checking for besides a water h?

Have you recently added oil or other fluids that could be dripping on the manifold and causing smoke? also check to see if any of the lines to the various fluids are leaking- even a little can cause smoke if the drips land right. Also check the bonnet sound proofing not touching the engine or do you get more smoke after it has been raining if so check for trapped water I'm not sure but could be your battery shorting out on the bonnet when you hit a bump in the road unless your battery is under the back seat if so ignore the last bit I wrote
