Cls 55amg running rich
I just bought a cls55amg with 37k miles. Car looks and runs great. It is white and every time I drive it even 5 miles the back bumper is covered in what looks like soot and oil drops. Any suggestions on what my be causing this or how to fix it. I think it is running rich but don't know

Thanks

wow, you guys are finding some very cheap examples! to a certain extent, i'm a firm believer of "you get what you pay for" and "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably it"

GL nonetheless, scan for codes and pics will help.
