Strong metallic smell from the engine, normal?
Ever since I bought the car (2020 S560) a few months ago, I've noticed a strong metallic smell from the engine, especially when it's sitting in the garage after a drive. I never noticed this with my 2004 S500. Is this normal or something I should have checked out? Coolant temperature seems normal. I can only imagine that's the way it's supposed to be. I'm not really concerned about it, just curious.

Sounds normal. Do you have any drips under the car when parked in the garage?

I will check but I don’t think so.
