C220d 2017
Hi I am new to the group and owned my 2017 c220d for about a month I have noticed that twice now white smoke the exhaust that clears in a short time it doesn't seem to do it at any specific time and I can't make it do it to show a mechanic. I have checked all the basics (oil ,water,) any info would be greatly relieved. Thanks in advance.

Is it from cold, and due to the warming exhaust steaming off some fluid?

Incomplete combustion perhaps would be my first guess assuming it’s not coolant or condensation related.

My old car does that if I leave it a while, I am still here and so is the car, well mostly.

Condensation likely runs fine, slight wobble till warmed up a bit.
