Smoke from exhaust

Hello everyone, bought my first bmw 2017 g31 2.0i 185kw b48 and ended up here quicker then expected asking for advice.

Sometimes car on startup will throw out a lot of smoke mostly white, but sometimes a little blue and when it's standing still occasionally it will jump in revs or if started in cold weather (around 0 celsius) might jump rmp from the start, but for like 2 seconds.

The smoke itself is not consistent, might happen after it stands for 24h might after 2h.

Do you have any suggestions what might be the issue? What I read online is there a point in maybe changing pvc valve?

Don't have a clue if this is relevant at all, but car needs o rings changed, leaking a bit of oil from them. and already have booked service.

The best solution would be to go to the dealer, but so far I had very bad experience with them and think they are very shit in my country, reading a lot of bad reviews online.

I purchased car about a month ago and changed oil and spark plugs, oil was not contaminated with anything, I had a leaking radiator which was changed 500km ago and so far cooling fluid does not look like there are any signs of oil in it.
