Sounds like you have a blown headgasket or cracked head. The smoke and smell is likely the oil leaking from your broken engine and burning off.

White smoke indicates coolant burning, usually accompanied by a sweet smell. It is possible to have a blown gasket and have no coolant in the oil, the leak is probably only present while the coolant system is under pressure and all of it is being burned in combustion.

Why is my BMW 4.4 v8 smoking?

It would help to know where the "smoke" is coming from and what it looks or smells like. For example, white smoke from the engine compartment after a recent oil change could just be burning oil that spilled on your engine or pipes. Smoke from under the car with an acrid sweet smell could suggest problems with your transmission. Generally speaking smoke means something is overheating, so try and determine the area of the car from which the smoke is coming. Check all your fluid levels and make sure you're not running your car low on oil or other vital fluids.
