Got the New Car Smell Again!!
I brought my Z to the dealership today to get the Nav door fixed. The washed it for me after. After I got in, it smelled like a new car again! It must have been the soap or some detergent they used buts it kicks ***. I tossed my vanilla creme air freshener in a ziplock bag for future use.

Sorry to jack the thread, but what did you get fixed with your Nav door. I have the power door and it makes noise when u open and close it since day one. I just have been too lazy to take it in.

SB Track, I brought my Z in cuz the navigation door wouldn't open when I pressed the button. They said the springs were missing so they just replaced the whole thing. When I got mine, it was also really loud everytime I opened and closed it. Now its smooth as silk.

i read something that the "new car" smell is actually toxic, which makes it addicting, but because it wears off its not harmful,
