Angry White smoke on morning start

Hi,

I just bought a cpo 997 tt 2007, had 9k miles drove it for 1100 miles, on early morning start up (car in climate control garage) white smoke coming out of both exhausts for 30 -60 sec then gone, no mods on the car any ideas......?
oil level is at the max so far

haven't seen it on my 997tt but my 987 boxster does it occasionally. somewhat embarassing in front of a crowd. dealer stated inherent with "boxer" design.

Nothing to worry about. Have it on my 996TT (same engine as yours), did NOT have it on my normally aspirated C2.
Please be advised that it's not always both sides that will smoke at the same time. Can also happen on only 1 side....

White Smoke= NORMAL
Blue Smoke= NORMAL(only for a couple puffs)

But if your car is smoking blue smoke for 30-60sec thats a problem
