I have seen this steam coming from the front of my 04 JCW MCS at standstill on a number of occasions. I have taken it in to BMW but I have been told, following a pressure test, they can find anything wrong. The temp gauge doesnt move and it doesnt seem as though the coolant has dropped so maybe it is just water evaporating as Mess suggests above.

The clunking noise I also had - it used to happen for me following an (approx) 90 degree turn of the wheel to the left and required a new steering column...

Good luck.
