I know this is a dated thread, but I just wanted those of us new diesel owners to rest assure that their new Xd's aren't going to burn to a crisp!

I recently experienced this "burn off" smell when my wife parked the X in our garage and was somewhat concerned. All I kept thinking about was that thread on this forum related to some guy's Xd that allegedly burned...Anyway, the smell is very evident (at least in a garage). I thought a neighbor was cooking out. You also hear somewhat of a ping noise, like a muffler cooling off. The smell/sound seemed to be located on the passenger side, and you could feel the heat radiate near the front wheel well. Like others noted, it lasted about 10 minutes and I just kept the garage door open. I was just shy of 1k miles.
