I popped in a few last week and they all generally had the same scent. Sure, laugh that it's decaying foam and whatnot, but they're very similar.
Anyone seriously notice that? Or maybe it's just nostalgia kicking in everytime I sit in one...?

The characteristic smell is probably caused by the types of materials used in the interior. Other cars smell different because they use different types of plastic, leather, cloth and whatever else makes the interior. That's probably why you recognize a unique smell. For what its worth, my dad's old E32 735iL smelled like my car.

i think older bmw's, e30, e32, e34 have pretty much the same scent inside....especially the e34's compared one to another.

I have noticed that older BMW's and Mercedes tend to have a similar smell.

A lot of the girl that come in my car say it smells like crayons, but I think that may have to do with the fact I use SimpleGreen

I have noticed it between my current car and my 530. My uncle also commented on how older BMWs share the same smell.
