Actually the insulating material is not expensive at all, but it takes lots of work.
You have to remove all the parts in front of the firewall to approach and replace that insulating material. And that's why I thought BMW should be responsible for that defect material application. So, I would like to ask BMW to replace that part, under warranty or goodwill service. I think you might contact BMW to ask for the service. Even my 10+ y/o ford dose not smell that bad !! How can BMW treat their customer like this? That issue bothered me and my family for a long time, and now seems there is nothing to do with their company?

What's funny is that I thought the smell came from the leather, and here I am feeling like a loser for not having a crayon smell because I ordered sensatec.

ExactLy. Loved that smell in my e34iT.
Enough that I strongly considered putting a box of crayons in theE46it when I got it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I’ve tried that before, I have quite strong one with 10000mg/h, and clean almost every weekend. And also put a lots of carbon and two external air filter to absorb smelling. It doesn’t improved the smelling obviously , because after driving a few minutes the crayon smelling come up again, guess the heat from engine would speed up that bad smelling. So this time I decided to replace it all.

Hanz and Franz say its special formula “ NEW CAR SMELL “
Would you prefer “OLD CAR SMELL” ?? Perhaps a dirty gym sock in front of your cabin air intake. I can sell you that mod for $299, extra sock included. Just kidding. Cosmoline sounds like the cause....its amazingly durable stuff. Any gun owner will tell you that. It keeps guns “ like new “ for over 50 years in a crate. |

I just scheduled a visit to the dealer to among other stuff to verify possible cause for oil smell in the cabin. Condition exists since they replaced the cover gasket one year ago.
I think I have oil smell, not the crayon, but at this point I'm not sure... I suggested to remove splash plate and verify for any oil puddle left... Car has no oil leak, level keeps the same between oil changes. |

I just bought a 2014 328i (54,000m) and mine smells like BO, (body odor) I was thinking maybe the previous one owner had pets (it was a repo so no way to ask) but since I'm not sure what the 'crayon smell' is exactly maybe it is just that.
It's pretty strong, and the car was seemingly deep cleaned. Good to know it's not me imagining it! :-) I'll try having the carpets steamed and clean all the leather, then try the car bomb, hopefully it'll help a little. Thanks for the tips, and if anyone has any more recent ones, would love to hear them as well. |
