My previous Mercedes V8 Biturbo smelled like gas too. It's probably because of these engines using direct injection.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, thanks. I run 10% ethanol each time I fill up. The reading I've done suggests that doing so could well contribute to fuel dilution. I think its all good as I change the oil every 5,000 kms or so |
Same, I didn't know that ethanol causes that. Thanks to California and it's crappy fuel (and roads)
