CCV is not something that prevents oil burning - its actually known to burn alot of oil when it fails.
IF you have an obd1 converted anything that smokes you should leak down the motor. I would hope that @ the bmw dealership there is a tech who has a leak down tester and knows how to use it.......
if the motor is burning oil its either burning oil from the valve stem seals or the piston rings; the S52 is known for burning oil from dead piston rings /worn pistons - Yes the pistions wear, no there is no magical way to fix this besides changing piston rings and or changing pistons to new.
How do I know? been there done that (many times); worn out s52 = burns oil..... sometimes a cloud.
my honda insight with almost 400k does not burn any oil......at all. or leak any at all
Leak it down. then you will know
asking the interweb to diagnose your problem does not help you.OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25
