UPDATE:

They just told me the smell is "normal" and the rear main seal is beginning to "sweat" so they are replacing that. I just did lots of research and havent seen any documented cases of rear main seal failure on the X5M, but i suppose anything is possible?

I am going to push for vacuum pump seal as well
