Blue smoke will be oil burning - does it use any to speak of?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

looks like it pours oil into the engine while it's stopped.. most likely worn out valve sheets

i found that BG oil treatment is quite useful to stop this. A friend's 405 GLD was smoking and 'gulping' about a liter of oil per week!! poured a can in and we witnessed how the bluish smoke fading away and disappeared.
