I have seen this on a BMW in the past where the head gasket needed to be replaced as it was leaking a bit of oil. That oil was dripping on the hot engine parts, then the smell of burning oil was being sucked in through the cabin air filters.
Could be one of many things, but easy enough to check.

If it is only obvious when the car is stationary then it may be a cracked exhaust manifold.
It is not easy to spot, they crack right where the manifold joins the engine, mine was missed twice by dealers.
