HEY, I just bought a brand new E320 E2, Leather, wheel locks, floor mats.

I get this burning smell, when I park my car, and when Iam inside the car. Is this normal for a new car? I just want to make sure before I take it to the dealer.

Also i got an E2 package, which comes with a premium audio system HK Logic 7 12 speakers, I wanted to know where all the speakers where, and also how come there is no Harmon Kardon Logo anywhere on the speakers, so i wanted to make sure it is an HK system. Also does anyone else have HK system without any logos.

Thanks

I've never had a burning smell, and no, I don't think it's normal. You should get it checked out. I have Harmon Kardon, and there are no logos. Welcome, by the way!

yes, the burning smell is your tires or something, did you go up hill or downhill fast or something?

My car had a little burning smell right at first. I think all new cars do until all of the parts under the hood get heated up a few times. It went away after a few days.

The speakers grills on my front doors say Harmon/Kardan.

No logos on my September build '02 car. You can check, however, by looking for the "Logic 7" selection in the Tone button/Options menu.

The manufacturer sprays a rust inhibitor to the underbody called cosmoline. When your exhaust system heats up, it causes the cosmoline to burn-off. That is likely what you are smelling. It should be gone in a couple of days.

It's the engine being broken in.

Your engine might be burning some engine oil and the cosmoline in the engine compartment.

Might drive it 100 miles and see if it is the Coating on the exhaust- If it's real strong or foul- don't drive it - get it checked out.

My car has Hk and Has logos on the door speakers as well as the usual Logic 7 setting option .

I wish I knew why the HK was so much better at $700 bucks extra... Like what am I supposed to be hearing to fully appreciate the $700 extra quality?
