Puff of smoke on cold mornings not unusual.  You may also be minus one or more Glowplugs meaning a couple of cylinders take longer to fire up fully.  More apparent on frosty mornings.

Oh and

Welcome aboard.

When I had the failure of all six plugs, it was actually the plug control box that needed replacing on my old X5.
