Is it brand new? If it does not have catalytic converters due to an aftermarket exhaust, the smell will be much stronger.

is the car stock standard? if yes, it wont have petrol smell normally

if the car is tuned or with aftermarket cat-deleted ekzos kit, then maybe yes. but not heavy/strong smell too

Are u sure from the exhaust or side door? if exhaust, something wrong. Perhaps O2 sensor kaput, AFM giving false signal, injector kaput/ leaks.

If not from exhaust, could be ur petrol tank breather leaks. Find out the actual source first. Another problem could be hose leak.

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for an E30 overhaul manual. I already have the Haynes 3 & 5 series service and repair manual but i feel that it is not enough. I hope someone out there has the Original BMW overhaul or shop manual.

You can contact me at 012 3938370. Thanks.
