316i

hey all,
just bougt a 95' model 316i
love the car, its my 2nd BM, had a 318is, but I crashed that, anyway, a
quick question.
I can smell fuel in the cabin.....all the time, the 318is did the same
thing.
Is this a prob of the 3series? or am I just having bad luck.....?
I've had the car detailed and cleaned professional inside but the smell
remains.........
I love 98 octane, but only through the injectors, anyone have an idea?????
thanx, any help appreciated

A lot of cars do this. Fuel lines near the tank are leaking. Vapours
get sucked into the trunk with a window or sunroof open and the smell
of petrol is worse with the windows open than closed. Renew rotted
or missing lines.

If you have fuel leaking under the hood I wouldn't drive it again without
having a fire extinguisher in the car.
