The white smoke on startup is common especially after sitting for awhile. Although 3 minutes of white smoke is alot.

"The Puff of Smoke at Startup

This is normal, especially if the car’s been sitting for a few days. Oil accumulates around the piston rings due to the way the boxer (yes, I spelled that right) engine is designed. For this reason, it’s always good to keep an eye on your oil level." from his website : http://www.iwantaporsche.net/BoxsterInfo.htm
