The car was leased new. A heavy 'chemical ' smell occured whenever the ventilation system was activated. Driver suffered headaches and sinus problems. At 14 months into the lease, driver had an air quality test done on inside of the car. Results came back with elevated unsafe levels of benzine. Other persons riding in the car experienced vision problems. Benzine is a known carcinogen and something was very, very wrong with this car. BMW is now in possession of this car.
