Is this normal??

Picked up my new C63 last week. I have been noticing a burnt smell after each drive. I think it is coming out of the exhaust. So far the car has only done 30 miles.

Is the smell normal??

Thanks.

My car used to smell if I gave it some boot in the first week or two. But now, two months later, there is no more smell.

I got mine as a CPO with 14k on teh clock already, however from what I have heard, during the break in period, and first few thousand miles, your engine will drink oil and burn it.. make sure you check your oil regularly and top it off (or have your dealer top it off)
