slight electrical smell

After driving for about 20 min after I park I can smell a very slight electrical smell from the hood.. primarily from the left side.

I just changed the filters to brand new k&n, and have been taking the past few drives in eco mode gently, but the smell is still slightly present. Never noticed this before, but it could have been present. I think I would have noticed it though.

Also lowered the car a little bit, and put in new oil, which is thinner than the previously used oil.

Any thoughts? Should I be concerned?

The new air filter and thin oil is giving you an electric smell, eh? Classic BMW problems

I just said that was the only thing that changed recently. Are you making a snide comment, because I don’t think a potential problem is a laughing matter. I invested a lot into this car, and do my best to take care of it.
