I have a 2006 BMW Li the other day I heard noise coming from under the hood.

What is your question?

And then the coolant indicator showed I had some antifreeze put in and later that evening I drove it and when I parked the car and cut it off white smoke came from under the hood. I know my battery needs replacing but when I got my car home and tried to start it the next morning it would not come on. Now I can't even get in with my key pad and I can only use the key manually but I can not get into the trunk neither will the other doors open. What do you think the problem is?

Hello, What happened when you tried to start the engine? Did it crank and never start, or just nothing happened? The vehicle will not start if it has detected a damaging failure in some cases, and since coolant is leaking onto the engine somewhere, I would say that is the culprit. This is a built in protection to further damage. The battery most likely went dead from cranking for too long without starting. I recommend bringing this to one of our certified shops for diagnosis, and when you look at the list, make sure to select one that specifies BMW, or has a BMW expert on staff. http://repairpal.com/bmw-within-10-miles-of-rockingham-north-carolina-28379
