Smoke from exhaust when cold

sob2137 · 03-10-2023, 04:01 AM

Hi guys,

So when the temperature outside is somewhat cold, whenever I accelerate my g80 I leave huge white smoke behind me that so thick as if I did a fat burnout. I've been in the service and have been told that it's "normal" for this car, but was wondering if anyone else had the same thing happen

For the record i have '22 model and my buddy with '21 model has the same "issue"

Did you just get your license?

Lol all jokes aside ya that’s normal for literally every single car ive driven. Don’t worry enjoy your car!

Well, I switched from AMG's and it's my first M and I have not ever experienced that amount of smoke ever before therefore the question

Well AMG has fake exhausts so it might not be as noticable.

some water vapor is normal as condensation forms in the exhaust as it cools after your last drive but eventually that should burn off.

if your car is up to operating temperature and it looks like you are doing a burnout then that is not normal. if other cars around you are doing it (not just your buddy) then it's condensation/weather.
