It's pretty much accepted that there are coatings and oils on a lot of the mechanical parts to protect the metal as it gets shipped that "burns away" when the car gets heat cycled. I smelled it the first ~200 miles and now it's much less noticeable (at about 520 miles).
If you know something the rest of us don't please share!
