Hi Craig,
I'm just north of you, in Loveland, & our '99 9³ (auto) has 45k on it.
WRT the soot, what kind of driving do you do? If it's mostly short-trip/city-style, then make sure you're running the hotter NGK BCPR6ES plugs. The plugs spec'd for our cars are the cooler BCPR7ES, & these won't burn as clean as the 6s for this type of driving.
WRT the sufur smell, there are two things to look at. First, try changing gas brands. In our area I've had good luck with Phillips 66, but I think BP/Amoco is the only locally-available brand which advertises reduced sulfur content. Second, get under the car & check out both mufflers. Our center muffler was rusted out at about 38k miles, but a hole in either one would allow more fumes to saturate the cabin area. I discovered our leak while I was standing next to the car with it running. I could hear it when I was standing there, but not when I was inside the car.
