I store cars all winter long for the last 30 years. Battery tender and stabile in a full tank of gas is about all a car needs for a few months of rest. That has nothing to do with the odor.
I have it in my garage, its not heated or anything, very cold since its been freezing here for the past 2 months. When the weather warms up a bit I usually leave the windows open in the garage to get some air flow but other than that, all doors closed. I’m kind of annoyed since the SA first words yesterday was that they wouldn’t be able to do anything for me for the issue, and they didn’t lol. Makes me wonder if they really tried investigating it thoroughly
I just noticed the same smell on my M50i. Never had this smell before on any other X5.

With working from home, I do not drive as much but I feel that is not the cause.

I smelled it on the start up. Drove about 20 mins, parked for 30 minutes and started it back up. Same smell.

Did your ever come back or did it go away?

Thank you
