I'm M235 stock and drive pretty hard, usually after a 15 or 20 mile highway sustained high-speed or back road with hard acceleration through the gears into the upper 6Krpm range I open the hood to cool things, don't smell any (BMW 0W30) oil.
Tend to run the HVAC heat hot on high blower through the footwell to keep the engine cooler.
If some oils are more aromatic I don't know, but I really don't smell any oil.

I'm also not getting any acrid brake pad odors.
