What does the smoke smell like? Steam/sweet, or burned oil? Or gasoline?
Does it smoke at constant idle? Does it smoke more or less when the rpms are blipped? Does it smoke more or less at WOT?

Unburned fuel. What service or repair work has been done in the past 6 months?
How does it idle? What is the fuel economy. Probably a hard question to answer with a V8 AMG.

OK. If it smells like gasoline, it's gasoline. What do you think is causing the white smoke on the driver's side?

If it is gasoline, continuing to drive it with an over fueling injector will damage the cylinder. You could test to see if it is that by unplugging the first cylinder injector and starting the car. It will run rough, but, if that’s the overfueling injector, the white smoke will stop. If it doesn’t, plug it back in and move to the second cylinder... etc.
if it doesn’t stop, it’s something else, such as a turbo leaking oil at the shaft seal.
There are known instances of injectors sticking in these cars so, it’s possible. I’m inclined to think it’s coolant or oil, however, as white smoke is typically coolant or oil.
have you checked the fluid level in the intercooler reservoir to see if it’s full? Maybe a pinhole in the heat exchanger on the driver’s side?

Its at the mechanic shop now getting checked. I had a reservoir tank leak before. The one on the passenger side a couple if days before and was fixed problem with the smoke is there before or after that fix. Hopefully he finds whats wrong, he doesn't think its anything major but that to me means nothing. I take pretty good care of my cars and this is major to me. Could be a leaking injector, could be a head gasket, not sure just yet.
