I have had a similar problem. Cold starts idled rough and emitted white smoke. A friend of mine says that white smoke is usually either moisture/water in the fuel tank or a brake fluid leak. My 9-3 has only 4500 miles on it, so I figured it was water. I'm guessing that any moisture will accumulate at the bottom of the tank when the car is still and therefore is more concentrated during a cold start.
I did two things and the problem seems to have disappeared. 1) I drove the tank as dry as I dared to empty out any bad gas. 2) I changed to a different fuel brand and a lower octane. Now that my car is back to normal I am refueling using different brands/octanes to see if the problem reappears. So far it has not.
I talked to my dealer about it earlier and they replaced the ECU. It had no affect.
