Strong electrical smell from passenger side inside car
Hi all!
This is my first post here with my "new" 2015 MCS F55. I just took delivery of it with around 8k miles and since then I noticed a strong electrical smell emanating from the passenger side seats... so much so that I sometimes need to open the windows to air out the car. I do not smell it on the outside of the car
It happens while driving but even when I sitting in idle... I don't have any electronics plugged in and I don't see any faults on the dash and everything seems to work well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

No I have not had to use the heater yet here... I'm lucky I guess. It really seems to be isolated around the passenger seat area... In fact it was my passenger that noticed it, I cannot smell it as badly from the drivers side.

If you've been playing Barry Manilow your sound system is telling you something

hmm I wonder if there is a short with the sub woofer?

So the smell comes and goes and doesn't seem to be consistent. It doesn't seem to be related with the audio system. I will keep investigating. I really don't want to waste my time and go to the dealership and for them to think I'm crazy and say "could not replicate..." because honestly I cannot replicate it consistently either.

When they cannot replicate, they don't care and tell you to come later.
