A black exhaust tip is normal.

Top up the oil and check on it daily. Keep a note of how much oil it uses. Anything up to 500ml of oil use between services (5000km) would be acceptable to me.

See if you can go for a drive with a mate in a car behind you. Get him to note any smoke and its colour. A little bit of black smoke is normal when you go full throttle.
Grey or white smoke once the car is warmed up is not good.
