Smell from the AC
I've noticed a smell of mild gas or chemical that appears every 5-10 min while the AC is on. It happens even when the AC is set circulate the indoor air. Anyone experience something similar with a gas like smell from the AC? Thx

Haven't experienced anything like this but if it's making a gas/chemical smell have it checked, you don't want to take any chances with your health.

Thanks guys. I took it to the dealer and he said that the AC system appears ok. He also said that this is supposedly a common issue on X5 and X6; basically when you rev the engine the exhaust somehow seeps back in through the trunk. Sounds like a bunch of boloney.

I used to have a 645 coupe. When driven hard the brakes or tranny, or something else I never figured out what smelled to high heaven making me nausious. New brake pads made no difference. The smell in the cabin was unbearable. I have owned several BMWs but never one that smelled so bad.

Thanks again guys. I am aware of the condensation smell. This is different, it is more of a chemical smell. Will try to monitor it more closely and see if there is some obvious pattern when it occurs.
