Check engine light comes on whenever the gas cap is opened when re-fueling and a noticeable burnt smell is noticed inside the vehicle. I have to have it towed to the nearest repair shop servicing BMW near me. Please see photos attached. I incurred about $2230 in repair charges. From then on, the problem hasn't re-occured.

Recently my vehicle has been smelling of gasoline. The cabin fills up with the odor. The outside of the vehicle smells when it is running or shortly after turning off the engine. In the last few months the smell has got worse. I only recently became aware of a recall specifying similar issues. I wanted to make record of my issue and complaint regarding my vehicle.
