weird smell

[rich_z4]

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:

My sons old Fiesta had this same smell around the O/S/F wheel, I searched behind the splash guard but couldn't find a thing...weird

.......... think it may be to do with aircon as only been happening last cpl months ,

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.

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.

No problemo!
After comin backwards and forwards to holland over the last 15 years that would present no significant problem!
All the bikeriders are stoned here usually :roll:

I've had this - def air con with me ... not cannabis

Sorted by a filter change.
