Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS 2011 BMW 335D USED IN APRIL OF 2014 WITH ONLY 18,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR RUNS ON DIESEL. AS SOON AS I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR ON THE DAILY BASIS I NOTICED A SMELL OF SULFUR OR EXHAUST INSIDE THE CABIN. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I ACCELERATE I CAN SMELL IT WITH THE WINDOWS CLOSED. IT NEVER GOES AWAY AND IS VERY DISTINCTIVE IN ITS NATURE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND AND FIXED SOME OIL LEAK BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE SMELL. I THINK THE SMELL COULD HAVE A LONG-TERM NEGATIVE EFFECT ON MY HEALTH AND I THINK BMW MUST RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM. TO ME IT LOOKS AS IF THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE GAS ENTERS THE CABIN. *TR
