Yes that is not uncommon for new cars

Cool deal. Most likely paint, oil or whatever burning off new exhaust system. Mine did the same thing for a few days.

Glad to see that things were worked out. *fingers crossed for you* I take delivery on my *first* MINI this Saturday. Hoping for good luck!!

OH YEAH! Something burns off in the engine, whisps of smoke came out of my air scoop when I stopped at a light about half mile from dealer after picking my brand new MCS Spike up. I wasn't really worried, but I did keep an eye on it. It quit doing it by the time I reached the next light.

...we'll fix the stuff I messed-up

....
otherwise - looking good

how much breaking-in to go?

antsmini · Feb 10th, 2004, 10:47 PM

Uptick, the graphics place fixed the stripe for free! So all we need to do is the headlamp covers. So far 370 miles.... Still more breaking in...

AMT · Feb 10th, 2004, 10:51 PM

Car looks good, best of luck with it.

And say hello to Aibo from me, he looks a cheeky little chap...

Might get on well with mine

When I bought my Cooper, there was smoke coming from the exhaust when I parked up at home!!

Don't worry though, it's just the protective oil burning off and it goes in a couple of days!

...must be the fine smooth burning of the Cohibas you smoked on the way home
