99 M3 smoke from exhaust? Just changed motor and exhaust?

I recently bought a 1999 bmw m3 project car, that needed a new motor. I put a new motor in it that had roughly 42k miles on it, I also had to replace the exhaust so I put aused oem exhaust on it.

The car was a previous turbo that blew the motor so i swapped everything out and went back to stock.

The car runs great, and oulls strong. But I just noticed today that it smokes a little from the tailpipe. It also seems that there is a little moisture or condensation inside the tips?? The spoe is not amajor white cloud or anything like that, but it is definetly noticicble.

The color is a little greyish/white

What sugesstions do you guys have??


the exhaust was used, could it just be dirty from sitting in a junk yard for a long period of time? ?I have only had my car out of th shop for about 2 days and I have only driven it maybe 100 miles or so??

I am also throwing a code that is P0600?? computer link malfunction, or something like that??

Any help with this would also be great?

My on board computer also sayd that I have low coolant, but i checked it and evrything seems fine, i think i just may ahve a bad sensor or something??

Sorry for going on and on, i just want to get to the bottom of all these small problems. The more help the better!
