Gas like smell from exhuast (M135i)

I noticed a really bad smell (gas) from the exhaust. I don't drive the car much 10,000 KM in 3 years, could that be the reason?

I hope it's a major issue, what do you guys think?

Thanks

When was the last time you drove the car hard for say 30mins or more ?

If you have been using it very infrequently it might need a good old "Italian Tune-up"

"Italian Tune-up" nice

I drove it for an hour, pulled over and there was no smell. Got home and let it idle for a while (5 min) and the smell was back but not nearly as bad as it was a couple days ago.

I will take it out again and see.

I find my car responds well to being pedalled hard occasionally, moreso after it gets trundled around the 'burbs commuting and doing chores.

Monthly blast to clear the cobwebs works well for mine.
