White smoke on warm starts

Hey guys! I noticed this weekend that after running my car for a while, and then shutting it off, if i restart within 5 minutes or so, i get a little blue smoke out my exhaust and a sulfur ish smell, notice it most of the time if i was running the car at idle more than driving before i turn it off.

Afrer my 2012 335i F30 has stood for a day or two I get a puff of grey/white smoke out of the exhaust, not sure what it could be?

But I know that if you see blue smoke it usually means that your car is burning oil.
