hi, I have a 2010 z4 and everytime I get in it after its been sat for a day or so it smells inside of what I can only describe as cannabis. my wife and myself have never dabbled in this so why ?? any ideas ??
 
Previous owner may have stashed a bag somewhere. I had on in a previous car, just wedged behind the fusebox.

Check under the seats, around the footwell and behind the glovebox.
 
Air-con musty pongs could be the culprit so an anti-bacterial treatment is worthwhile. Try swapping out the cabin filter (under glove box) and whilst checking for the lost stash under the seats have a poke around for dampness/leaks.

Once it's sorted you can sit back, roll a fat'un and chill :wink:

Could be a build up of bacteria on the evaporator (cooler matrix, bit inside the car) if you run the heating system with the air con disengaged.

Helpful diagram here:-

Had same problem last year especially when using A/C-Heater, it was caused by the cabin air filter. Changed out filter and odor vanished. Apparently dealer never changed filter when brought in for service.
