BTW I have nearly 9000 mile on my 3 and if I leave it sit for a week or so, which I try not to do, it will puff a little smoke at start up.

Does yours also have that rattle from the clutch? I took my in to the dealer and they said it because of the single mass flywheel. When I press the clutch pedal the sound gows away.
