I've noticed the same thing, not every time and only after sitting for a while, such as overnite. It's about the amount of smoke that would be burned off if oil were seeping into the cylinders at rest from a bad seal or something. Both of our 9-5s ('99&'01) have done this since we bought them at about 100000km. They are now both at about 160k and have never used a drop of oil between changes. I was befuddled by this smoke without oil consumption paradox but soon got over it when I realized 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' sometimes has to apply. But since you are probably still under warranty, there's nothing to lose by having it checked out. Hope it's nothing!
