116i sport issues

Hi there,new to this forum,bought new 116i a few months ago.Wondered if anyone else has any ideas of what this problem I have is.From about 2000 miles I noticed black splashes up rear bumper from exhaust "car is white by the way".Inside of exhaust tail pipe black with carbon,took it to the dealer who said because I only do about 10 to 15 miles per day the car hasn't had time to warm up.So I cleaned the inside of the exhaust trim and within a couple of days splashes of carbon up the back bumper,surely this cant be normal.Also steering started to squeak when turning slow sounds like its coming from steering column but not sure,just waiting for number 3,had a 53 plate 318i for nearly 7 years not a scrap of bother.On the whole I'm pleased with the car just a couple of niggles but probably a personal thing nothing specific,look forward to any replies or advice.Car done @ 3000 miles now.
Cheers
