Exclamation Sulphur smell

Anyone ever have an intermittent sulphur like smell coming from the ehxaust...I'm getting this intermittently and I'm not sure if I got a tank of bad fuel or what. I've only had the car for 2-3 weeks and I just started noticing this last week after pulling into the garage. I think the emissions system is about the same on E 500's and clk 500's.

Thanks

I noticed the same thing in my garage from my E500. I have no idea what causes this.

Interesting, I thought there might be something to this. I've got a post on the w209 section and had another report of the sulfur smell, there is other info I reported from a MB Tech in AZ that was kind enough to share some info with me.

I did find some interesting and reassuring info, please see this link:
