750's with catless downpipes- does your exhaust smell?

My warranty ran out on my 17 750 so i did a BM3 stage 2 tune and catless downpipes. Car rips and runs great, but when i come to a stop with my window down, ill get a pretty strong smell of an oily kind of smell. Doesnt seem to smoke or consume any oil and ive got a friend pretty familiar with setups like this that thinks its normal. This is all the time, whether im driving hard or normal.

Just wondering if any other tuned and catless guys are experiencing the same thing

Yes it smells. I have the same setup and when I start it up, I can get a brief smell or on a hot day you can smell it thru the vents. So to me, I believe this normal.
