Thanks mate, yeah I have already changed the panel filter (which I beleive is the only filter that filters what comes into the cabin vents. I have had this smell for some time but its quite strong and can make you feel lightheaded after a while on the motorway for example.
My independant garage couldn't find the cause and I am stumped myself.
BMW are going to do a further investigation tommorow which will be an hours labour - hopefully they can find something!
