White smoke

Engine Mechanical problem
1994 BMW 840 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 200k miles

On starting my 840 i have white smoke from the left exhaust. I have found a product called SEAFOAM? which is a cure??
Also can a MILEAGE MAXX VORTEX GENERATOR increase fuel economy.
My question is do the above products work??? or am i wasting my time trying to improve fuel economy from a V8!
At present i am getting 12mpg in town and 25 on the motorway.

Dont waste $$$$$$$ on mileage enhancing gimmicks. The white smoke might just be condensation, if it gets worse let's get back together.
