I have no idea, maybe it is the way the treat the leather, the way they dye it idk for sure. But the m2 and other bmws never really had that traditional new car smell that comes from the plastics off gassing.

I only have personal experience from when I worked at Honda. I know for certain that the smells that were considered "new car smell" were in fact out-gassings. It has been many years since this, and it was thought at one time to be a health hazard, so Honda removed the possible liability but started adding the scent of the out-gas to their glues and dyes because it had become part of their new car experience. It's a bit like the BMW ASD. I have read that many car companies do this, which is why a Ford always smells like a Ford, and a Chevy a Chevy, and so on, even when the manufacturing processes have changed a million times.
How BMW does it I wouldn't know, but the bottom level car smells just like the top level car at the dealership (to me).
