Smoke from the tail pipe

We have about 7000km on our 2012 Audi A4. A few weeks ago, we noticed smoke coming from the tail pipe - not like an old beater car or diesel but enough that the silver tail pipe tips are now completely black. It took us until yesterday to be able to actually get an appointment with the dealer here in Germany. We just picked it up and were told there was absolutely nothing wrong. Their suggestion? Maybe it's just bad gas. We ALWAYS put super plus gas in it. ALWAYS. My $9,999 Honda didn't smoke until well after 200,000 miles. I'm not thrilled with the fact that this somewhat more expensive car is smoking this early in the game and I'm told nothing is wrong with it. Anyone have any ideas or similar experience with this? Many thanks in advance!!!

I`ve only heard of smoke out the tailpipe when too much oil has been added. Oil level is fine?

Nope. No warning lights of any kind and oil level reads right where it should.

The tips turning black with deposits is normal. The 2.0T runs rich at times. Visible smoke is another issue.
