Hot Smell 2016 G63
Hi all
Im noticing a hot smell when getting out of my new to me 2016 G63. Not a full on burning smell but close to it, like the engine, exhaust etc is very hot bordering on overheating (if you know what I mean), but sometimes engine oil temp is still in the blue numbers so less than 70 (UK car) so cant be engine, will the exhausts on the sides give that smell, or is it more likely to be brakes?
Coolant temp is solid at 93 every journey and alloy wheels dont feel hot like a brake caliper is stuck on and brake discs and pads dont have any sign of unusual wear etc so hoping for a bit of guidance where to look first?
Thanks
Carl

I just told that to my dealer when they did a service on my G63 2018 this week.
I find it smells like a little burning near the front wheel, maybe near the engine. I dont smell it near the exhaust or rear arc wheel.
They did a full check and nothing to report.
Not sure if its normal. I just got my G-Wagen this month. It has 20,000km (12k miles)
Must be the same smell.
