I just bought a 2002 BMW 325ci convertible for some reason it spit out white smoke and it sound like it got stuck to and the car start to slowly move for a couple second then it spit out a lot white smoke like the car got on fire. The engine sound very smooth. The old owner said the vacuum need to replace, I did the but the rubber pipe rip a little. I have change new spark plug, oils and transmission oil. I don't know what wrong with it.

COME FROM THE EXHAUST. WHEN I START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING IF I STEP ON THE GAS GENTY IT ONLY SPIT OUT A LITTLE LIKE STUCK SOMEWHERE. IF I STEP ON THE GAS HARD SOMETIME THE SLOWLY MOVING BUT A LOT SMOKE SPIT OUT LIKE THE CAR ON FIRER. THE ENGINE SOUND VERY QUIET IT YOU WOULD NEVER THINK THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I hate to say it, but I think you have a bad head gasket. When they go bad, engine coolant gets into the combustion chamber. When that happens, it will burn white producing white smoke from the exhaust. You should check engine compression to see if there is a cylinder or cylinders that have low compression.
