Also some smoke on hard acceleration which I assume would be stem seals or head cover seals letting by some oil.

Hi Sajn,
I have the 530d with the N57 engine. One issue which is common on this model (F series) is water ingress on the rear passenger floor due to a yellow grommet leaking in the engine bay. Simple and cheap fix (Part no. 51719151866) and well worth doing before it becomes a problem. Another is a leak in the coolant gasket behind the oil filter housing (Part no. 11428516396, 11428580680,11428580681,11428580682,11127810712,11127810707). Then there is the rear air suspension where the pump has no blead valve to let condensation out of the pump and so rusts the internal components if you do not dry out the beads inside. The rear wheel bearings also are a known failure point so well worth keeping an eye on. They are difficult to do when they go and will need to be pressed out, usually a big job that requires a specialist garage to be able to do. In automatics, the fluid is apparently lifetime oil, according to BMW but ZF who made the gearbox say they are to be changed at 80k.
Hope this helps.
