Hi

I picked up my 2003 330i Touring the week before Christmas and I am happy with the car, although the sport suspension can be a bit wearing at times through town.
Anyway, I turned the A/C on lastnight to quickly demist the windows and was greeted to a strong smell of urine !! After many failed attemps to clear the smell (and also checking the outside of the car to make sure someone hadnt used it as a target to pi55 against when I popped into the shops) its still lingering…
Is this a common problem ? Bacteria on the A/C evaporator ? Is there anything I can do to erradicate the vile smell ??

Cheers !

Robk

It appreared after the a/c had been on for a short while before i got to the shop. As soon as i got back into the car and turned on the fan it came through thick and strong.. pure urine !
