I know it sounds silly and even slightly dangerous (wouldn't advocate sniffing exhaust fumes for a prolonged period) but does the smoke smell of diesel fuel or burnt oil or even coolant with sweet smelling antifreeze (sounds like I have some sort of addiction going on here!) ?

Maybe a battery reset or signs that the battery is failing....happens like this with top end BMWs.
