Anyone else getting an antifreeze smell in the M3?
Anyone else getting an antifreeze smell in the M3? Lately I have been smelling antifreeze when I drive the car. Reminds me of my nightmare Procharged Camaro project...

I notice myself having to clean a slight haze off the inside of my windshield every once in awhile and it seems to be after the times I use my defrost. This reminds me of an old vehicle I use to have that had a leak in the heater core.

I do smell something different when I pull into the garage after driving for awhile. I couldn't place the smell, so it's plausible I'm smelling anti-freeze also.

I got it today going on base. Speed limit on base is 30 mph. So I was not even going into the 3000 rpms zone. Yet, I still got the antifreeze smell.

I get the same thing that is mentioned above(pulling into the garage, after a hard pull, etc.)
However, I think it is just the AC.

Ok, hate to bump an old thread, but this is all I can find. I have a brand new 4k mile babied M3 that is doing this. The smell is brief and not strong, but it is certainly coolant. NO leaks etc...
