When diving my 13 CMS All4 manual up on tire ramps or going over small bumps from a standing start the car does not want to accelerate up the ramps and when it does I get an awful smell from something mechanical. Anyone have any idea what is going on here? It is the only time it happens. Standing start up an incline like a speed bump or even the car wash tire plates.

Sounds like the dreaded "Smelly Clutch Syndrome". Proceed directly to the "smelly clutch" thread.

Never fear! MINI put in a "Better Feeling" clutch in the 2013's!
