Gas smell from exhaust?
I have been getting a strong gas smell coming from the exhaust, at least I think so. Almost like unburnt gas. It's most noticeable when I warm the car up in the morning in the garage or when I'm parking it when I get home because of the smaller area and no wind to disperse it, but every now and then I get a whif of it when at a light. Any ideas what it could be? The E has never smelled like this.

I've smelled that too. Sometimes I think its coming into the cabin maybe from the vents?! Not sure. Anyways, I've popped open the hood. I didn't see anything nor smelled anything. I don't even smell it at the exhaust tips. Yes, I actually got down there and took a whif... but nothing. If you figure it out, let me know. I mostly get it the harder I drive. I thought maybe it was an issue with the catalytic converters not burning something off.
