I had a fuel can tip over in the boot of my car once, and the vehicle stunk of petrol for about two weeks afterwards. I had to drive with the windows down for a few minutes every time I drove the car.
If you really want your car to smell like petrol, a teaspoon of the stuff in the air vents like some type of essential oil will do the trick.
My mom bought a BMW from her cousin that had an odd fuel line. Nothing was technically wrong but you could smell the fuel when the engine was on. Eventually she gave it back.
Something was definitely wrong with that car.
Yeah it clearly needed even fuel lines.
Very likely a poorly running engine, a long since hacked off catalytic converter, and several exhaust leaks under the cabin or near the cabin air intake. This describes every BMW thats been driven to the point where you're buying it from a cousin.
Plus the scent of Axe body spray to cover up the petrol.
