Sulfur smell after starting up
I have a 2013 S Drive. I've noticed in the last couple months, if the car has been sitting a while (overnight) when I start it up, the AC comes on (I have it on Auto) and there is a distinct sulfur smell for a couple minutes. After that it dissipates.
Anyone else smelled this? Any ideas? Thanks in Advance! Matt |

Something has been stinking up my car as well. I did a search, and it looks like it's common for BMWs to get a moldy smell from the A/C? And apparently it's hard to reach the parts that matter.
One solution I read about: I tried running a few min. with "heat" on (and windows down!) to see if I could cook it out before I got cooked. Maybe it helped a little, hard to tell. |

If it smells like bandaids/dirty socks/plastic, its the a part in your HVAC system that has glue on it that has a distinct BMW smell. Spray a little Lysol or febreeze in your system on re-circulation every once in a while and it goes away. Other wise its usually gone after a few minutes.
