I have an 08 R56, usually when driving on the highway I can smell fumes in my car at high speeds, very faint but still noticeable to me..
I had an Oil leak which was fixed, but the smell is still there, anyone else have this? something I should worry about?

 

Ummm what do the fumes smell like? Exhaust, gasoline, coolant...

 

Sorry! Its def not gasoline, or coolant..
just wondered if anyone else notices any engine like smells in their cars

 

Emmm not really unless I farted

 

If you had an oil leak and fixed it, it's probably just residual oil that is dripping down from the nooks and crannies, burning off on the exhaust.

 

I have a '13 Cooper S and have had a '10 S and an '07 S before. I've noticed with all the cars, or at least this current one and the '10, that if I really get on the throttle I'll smell a fairly strong sulfur odor. Anyone else notice this?

 

A smell of sulfur usually emanates from the catalytic converter.

I drive mostly with the windows down, or with everything down (watch it!) in my wife's 'vert. Shoot the juice to either and you get the sulfur smell a few seconds later.
Our weather has been pretty warm for winter, but they changed the fuel blend to winter anyway. So the smell is worse and the windows are still down.

Check your hatch. Give it some nudges along the bottom and make sure it is evenly snug. Maybe some exhaust is sneaking in the back.
