guys, sometimes during idle especially when near the front car with bad exhaust smoke, the smell just went inside my E60 regardless the aircon recirculation button on/off. any idea what could goes wrong?
 
Im still having this issue but mine is happens when the RPM is high .... some weird smell entering cabin .... still not able to find solution to this ...
 
Sometimes, even you switched to recirculation mode, the flapper (i m not sure what it s called) is not closed when it is supposed to.
The flapper mechanism should be closed to stop outside air intake into the cabin in recirculation mode. For my case, i have it locked closed, as i dont need outside air intake.

There's probably something wrong with your Aircon recirculating flap. Get it checked by a Aircon specialist.
 
Even if the aircon is set in recirculation mode, it will intermittent open the flap to outside air. This is a safety feature of the aircon system.

This is to bring in fresh air as you are breathing stale air if you traveling long distance with the window closed.
 
What Jarance said is true... U could choose between auto or off circulation... Its on the same button beside the temp knob at driver side..
