351 Tail pipe puking black

My left tailpipe spews a milky opaque black liquid that runs down the rear bumper and will even leave an occasional black puddle on the garage floor.

Does anyone know what's up with that? I have just shy of 2000 miles. Also, fuel milage is still only 17 with a good amount of highway driving. Can I expect that to improve or is that going to be it?

I'm Luke warm on this car. Still feel it wanders when driving down a straight highway at 70.

Is mine the ONLY 35i that has discusting black shit coming from my exhaust?
Anyone? If the car is great I say so. If it is less than expected, I can't lie to myself and say it's the best thing ever.

This x5 is not close t perfect... And not nearly my best BMW.

Sorry if that offends folks here.

I miss my M3 too. This X5 is not nearly as sorted out as i thought it would be at this stage in it's life cycle.
