My 2000 9-3 started letting out a puff of white smoke on each start at around 16,000 miles. When I took it in for the 20,000 service, I asked them about it and they determined it was a small leak in one of the turbo gaskets. It was allowing about a drop of oil to get through that would burn to create the puff of smoke on the next start. I got the impression that they knew to check this based on a TSB. Anyway, you cannot replace te turbo gasket in question without replacing the whole turbo so they replaced the turbo for free under warranty. No smoke since.
You said you were getting black smoke, not white smoke, but I don't think it is normal for your 9-3 to spit out any smoke on start-up. At least mine doesn't.
