I had two X5's and never had this issue, If I had a car that was making me sick I would expect the manufacturer to fix it or replace it. If that didn't happen then I would have the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (in USA government agency that regulates vehicle safety) explain it to them. No car that is unmodified should endanger your health, chemical fumes of any sort are hazardous.

rockmed, I would not accept that this is "normal" operation.
