Loss of power, whining, white smoke...

Hey guys,

I've got a 2006 318D m sport. Was driving the other day and it sounded like a police siren was going off... all of a sudden I lost power. Was only a minute away from home so I limped home at 20mph (top speed) and had no smoke or anything....

I went out in the morning to have a look and it was bellowing out with smoke. I checked oil and it was fine.... I checked coolant and the float wasn't rising so I stuck some coolant in and the float still didn't rise however it was full...

There is a whining coming from the turbo area, still no power, when accelerating its blowing out with white smoke....

My limited knowledge is telling me the turbo has died a horrible death- however I've read lots of forum posts and I'm so confused.


Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
