Black Residue on Exhaust?

Zildjian106 · 12-09-2008, 03:48 PM

So, I have had my car for about a month or two (328i) and enjoying every second I am behind the wheel. I noticed quite a lot of black residue on the exhaust. I have about 1000 miles on the car, and lets just say, I had to cut the break in period a little short every once in a while.

Should I be concerned about this?

Well, you burn gasoline, it makes fume, it exit through the exhaust pipe, some deposits on the pipe or the bumper and that deposit looks black or yellowish brown.
It is normal you get the black residue, however not many actually sees the black residue often.

Reasons you are seeing on your car.
1. You might have not washed your car for long period of time.
2. Your catalystic converter is messed up and doesn't filter the fume.

Vnak · 12-09-2008, 07:06 PM

yea, no need to worry about the black residue. it's normal.

you guys are so hard on the new guys. if you got nothing good to say, then don't say anything. if this is how people nowadays gets their post count up or whatever reasons they do that for, then count me out.

bsamoul · 12-09-2008, 07:11 PM

i'm so tired of cleaning it.

Urine should get rid of it.

Spydeputy · 12-10-2008, 06:08 AM
