Car is a 1995 BMW 525i. It has had overheating issues, but I replaced almost all coolant hoses, thermostat, thermostat housing, radiator, water pump, and bled coolant many times. This solved the overheating, but I notice white smoke from exhaust and now this. Any help is appreciated.

Cracked head.
You can add dye to your coolant and drive around and once its cold try to find the cracks. If there isn’t anything you might have to remove the head and inspect visually the gasket and hope that you find something wrong with it
m50 isnt gonna crack the block its gonna crack the head. if its not overheating anymore why worry about it?
