Yes, that's a "new car smell" - should go away by the time you get up to 1000-2000 Kms

hahaha.. well M3's dont rev that high and I wouldnt hesitate for a second in buying one.... if only I had the cash.

As for the smell. The old man bought a brand new Landrover and it smells pretty much just like you describe it every time he parks it back in the garage. It is just the "new car smell", I used to think that only ment the interior..

Nothing to worry about.
