X6 burned smell in the car

Hi. Today when i was coming home like 300-400 meters before my house in car there was a smell like a oil burnd or when you sometimes burn the clutch. Anyway i parked the car and pop the hood and noticed the hot air from and a little smell from left side of the engine... Anyone knows what that may be? I just remberd similar smell was present when i bought a car and had very little km on it. But after that 10000 km no smell at all... I dont kill my car like cold starting and pedal to the metal..

I have this same issue in my X6M, only happens when I stay idle for more than 10 mins. BMW said it could be salt burning off due to the winter weather and that could be causing the smell.

Mine was an executive demo with 10k miles, just picked it up, and I have the same smell. It smells more like burned paper than fluids. Common?
