Blowing White Smoke, How Much Time?

I just noticed today I’m blowing white smoke out my tailpipe. Looks like my turbo is done. Is it a bad idea to keep driving it lightly for a week or two till I can get it replaced? Also is getting a used n55 turbo a bad idea? Seems like most of them are pretty good, mine must just be defective.

Before throwing parts at it, make sure it really is the turbo causing it. You may have other underlying issues causing the white smoke. Take it to a reputable bmw shop.
