The smell is way less prevalent in newer cars, but anything around the e30 era is actually impressively pungent.

My F30 barely has the smell, I don't understand how the smell is somehow transferring to your hair and clothes. Maybe you found out you have body odor that smells like sweet wax?
Nice! thanks for the info.

Yeah it gets bad if the car sits outside in the sun for a while, and like I said with the windows down/sunroof open the smell gets really strong
