it's breaking down, and that's the source of crayon smell

it's difficult to discover the cause, due to the location: inside the dashboard
pry off the dashboard cover(51459239303), then you can find the strong crayon smell

please check this information on youtube


BMW must be responsible for this issue instead of masking it with other scent.

Perhaps the government should investigate this issue for the bad smell may distract the driver's attention.
I kind of like the smell.
