I have about 1100 miles on my 370 and I've driven it overall quite conservatively. When I get home from work, I always notice a faint burnt rubber-like smell from the car. Mainly it's from the engine bay or front wheel wells. I'm not burning any oil as the oil level is consistently pretty full and not changing. Any thoughts? I've heard that sometimes this is just a new car phenomenon as some grease, stickers, etc burn off some of the parts. Fact or fiction?
