Air fresheners

So it took me 15 months to maintain the new car smell until this holiday season. The gf said the car smelled stale. Other than the Japanese squash air freshener and trees, what's your go to air freshener?

Sex. Lots of it

On a more serious note, the leather master cleaner/protectant have a citrusy smell which works out well when used monthly. Keeps the car relatively fresh and doesn't have strong smell.

I use wonder wafers new leather. A single wafer can last for a week or sometimes more. I place one underneath my seat. It is also affordable if you're on a budget but then again you own a bmw

Not sure if I want a citrus smell.

This is new to me and super cheap. I think I'll grab some once my current air freshener dries up. Ty!

Ozium. A spray a day keeps the odors away.

i've had good success with charcoal bags in cars, similar to the one linked below. They don't have a scent themselves -- they are supposed to absorb other smells. So my car doesn't have a "smell," rather just a no noticeable odor at all.
