I recently purchased a used m5 and what I thought was the salesman cologne turns out to be a musty seat odor. Both my front seats REEK of this odor and turning the seat blowers on makes it worse. The odor comes from the seat backs of the front seats ONLY.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Is there a filter I need to change? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for the help! -D

I used a product called Nilodor to de-funk my E39 M5. The woman I bought it from must have smoked 2 packs a day in that car for 10 years. I honestly could not breath, at first the smell was so strong I was choking. But since Oxford cars are rare as hens teeth I bought it sight unseen. About 5 treatments where I spritzed the headliner the car smells awesome.

What a ordeal this has become. My car is back to the dealership for them to figure out what is causing this putrid smell from the front seat backs. I cant figure out how or what could be causing both front seats (middle back portion) to stink so dam bad.
While they are doing that, they will be powder coating my 343M wheels black since they somehow scratched a few of them rebalancing my wheels. Joy. I guess I'll report back. But something tells me I'll probably just have to deal with it. Chances of them replacing two front seats due to smell on a used CPO M5 seem slim to none if I had to guess. Sucks to be me...

You can change out the padding I'm sure.
