My other half has a BMW E36 1.6
A couple of times in the last 2 weeks she has noticed a strange smell while driving which has been intermittent. Tonight she pulled onto the drive and shouted for me to come out as the car was doing it again. I walked round the car sniffing and it seemed to come from the bonnet. I asked her to open it and there was a strong smell which to me smelt like burning rubber. Just as the smell started she noticed the car was struggling to pull in 3rd gear.
Any idea what this could be? It's pitch black at the moment so I will have a look tomorrow. I just wondered if anyone would have an idea of what's going on and where I should be looking.
