Chimicles & Tikellis LLP, along with co-counsel, has filed a lawsuit against BMW of North America LLC ("BMW") in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to remedy alleged violations of law in connection with BMW Model E46 vehicles which contain sound insulation that was manufactured with excessive amounts of solvent.  Over time, the insulation manufactured with excessive solvent breaks down, causing an offensive odor which has been described as smelling similar to a solvent or wax crayon.  The smell typically originates around the trunk, rear parcel area, and back seat.  Owners have reportedly incurred hundreds to thousands of dollars to replace the defective insulation.
