I get no smells. However when I brake hard, I can smell the brakes from the outside.

On a more serious note, I used to get this on my old 545 after hard acceleration. Never presented an operational issue but as far as I could tell...

I occasionally get that odor as well if i punch it really hard. I have a 2004 545i with smg transmission. I have not noticed any operational issues and just thought it was "normal" in a car that is usually driven very gently
