Weird smell after driving in sport plus
I've got about 1200 miles on the car, whenever im done driving in sport plus, i get a weird burning plastic/rubber smell. I'm pretty sure its not the tires or brakes, anyone else get this? At first i assumed it was the brakes, breaking in but it smells too plasticy to be the brakes

Mine also has this smell after 1 year of use. I only smell it when the sunroof is open. I've take the car to the dealer twice on the issue. The first time they said "engine burn-in" and that it should go away. Took it in again this week and they say they can't duplicate (read: they didn't try because it shows up within 5 minutes of driving), but they've heard the glue used in the carpets has been known to smell once heated and that they'd need to rip it up and replace it. I don't buy this as the smell is not coming from the carpet, but from the engine and is only noticeable when you let the air outside come in. Frustrating.
