G55K / Smell of burning oil
Simptoms are the same like in this tread.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c219/170872-have-cls63-w-800-miles-have-smell-burning-oil.html
"I have a CLS63 with only 800 miles and have a smell of burning oil whenever I step out of my car. When I start the car in the morning, a light blue smoke comes out of the exhaust. I've had new cars before and they have had a burning-in smell for the first few hundred miles, but never over 800 miles and never this strong.
Any ideas out there?"
No mistakes from StarDiag, no leak. Dealer have no idea.
Need your advices.

Most likely a faulty oil change procedure @ Service-B as it turns out. Engine cleaned and smokes much less than before, but still burning oil @ cold-start which it didn't use to.
Will pick it up tomorrow (after 14 days in the shop) to take it out on the Autobahn to burn the engine clean @ 150MPH for a long strech. Or blow it up, whichever comes first.

CLS63 Returned to Mercedes - New Engine Required
In May of 2006, I placed an order for a 2007 CLS550. A few weeks later, a colleague told me about this incredible new engine MB was releasing. The 6.3AMG
I called the dealer and asked them to change my order for the CLS63AMG rather than the standard CLS550.
The car arrived in late November. Handling is amazing, response is unheard of, interior detail/finishes simply beautiful. Like others are seeing, the car produced a large cloud of smoke on ignition. The wall in my garage is sprayed and covered with oil.
At 500 miles, the car needed OIL (8 quarts)
At 700 miles, the car needed OIL (8 quarts)
At 1200 miles, the car needed OIL (8 quarts)
Finally, I demanded a resolution. MB’s initial response was to drive the car to 3-5K miles and then bring it back. I did not accept their proposal. MB asked the dealer to conduct some studies. Ie. Drain the oil, fill it with a measured amount, drive the car for 600 miles and re-drain and weigh. Result: 2L of oil / 1000KM
MB once again says to drive the car to 6000 miles.
Long story short, MB determined the car needs a new engine. Total downtime 9-12 weeks. Meanwhile, I drove a rental C Class.
Finally I demanded a refund for the car and got into an S550.. very different car.. but amazing. Going to give AMG a little time to solve some issues with their new engines.
