2012 c250 smoke on start-up

I just bought my 1st Mercedes which is a 2012 C250 coupe with 13,000 miles. My concern is after the car sat for about 12 hours in my garage, on start-up I noticed quite a bit of blue smoke. Is this something I concerned about? I wouldn't think a MB with 13,000 would smoke on start-up.

Thanks,
Glenn

Take it to the dealer for diagnosis, everything should be covered by warranty.

2012 C250 Coupe
Glenn,
I experience white smoke on startup in my '12 c250 as well. What did your dealer find? When I brought mine in they could not find anything.

Michael,

Our dealer didn't even look at the car, they just said they have seen this in other c250's and didn't think it was a problem that it was normal. I don't know what to think about their diagnosis...
