have had my car for a month now; put on 800 miles; today noticed a small amt of a puff of white smoke on start up after lunch; is this normal; my previous p cars did that but it had to do with the type of engine it had; anyone with similiar occurrance?

No big deal, it slowly goes away after break in.

If you are referring to the Teutonic Cloud Of V8 Power then yes I get that from time to time. Last week was the last one. Wife asked what the hell that was. I just teared up a little and contemplated the majesty that is the 6208 cubic centimeters of displacement in our engines.

Haven't seen any puffing as of yet... usually I'm in a well lite garage and nada.

What I did notice on several 2008 models in the beginning of last summer when I was visiting dealers. I did notice several cars with large puff of smoke after start-up, which I thought was kinda strange. BTW... my car is not driven everyday so oil/fuel would have time to settle into the cyclinders, if that was the case... then it would puff out after start-up. I don't really know why that is happening to you...

well mine is a 2009; i did drive it kinda hard though by no means pushed it the last few days; i will monitor it and keep everyone posted; it only happened once and it was a very small amt indeed; car runs perfectly

You should see the plume of smoke my S63 lets out once in a while. Its epic is size. NOthing short of amazing. But it is normal. It is worst if you turn the car on when cold and then shut it off a bit after and let it sit for a bit. When you re-start it it may let out a big puff of smoke that will quickly end.

It could go away after about 10k miles but my 39k mile old SL55 still does this nice trick but it never uses any oil.

My 95 C36 has over 103k miles andwhenitsreally cold out I start it in the morning. A small amount of very light blue smoke comes out. But the engine doesnt burn any oil and runs like a champ. I guess its normal for these AMG engines.

I get lots of smoke every time I hit the gas, but I think it's coming from somewhere below and maybe a few inches in front of the exhaust tips ... strange ...
