Default new Panamera headlamp condensation , normal?

Brand new car showed about 25% lens condensation following journey home of about 50 miles . Cool , foggy wet conditions .
Dealer telephone chat suggested it would go and should be regarded as normal ,but never featured in BMW series 6 which preceded it.
Dealer further suggested that it was because it was made in a warm factory and sealed there !

The dealer is probably correct, my Panamera had similar condensation and it disappeared never to return.

Had same thing happen on 2018 Macan TT. The lenses were fogged up when I got it home, but by next day it was gone, and hasn't returned in 2 months

Default Fogging headlights in new Panamera.

Thanks for your responses . The problem is less evident and hopefully will clear as described. Roger

This was normal when I re searched it on my 911. They are not sealed and are vented.
