Dumping Fuel? Carbon?

2010 E550 70k km
No tune

Recently did a hard pull in S mode and someone noticed that when WOT, black smoke came out as if it was a diesel. Dumped fuel would cause that, but as far as I know, it's not tuned.

Are these cars susceptible to carbon build up?

Mine was doing that for a few days after my tune, especially at WOT... but haven't heard of it happening since then. Not a very helpful response, I know. Was the engine cold at the time?

It wasn't cold, but since it's summer it's not used frequently either. So maybe that's it...?

Possibly... my car was down about a week while I got my tune done, so similar situation.
