when I drive my 1995 bmw 325i, I get a strong raw gasoline smell inside the car. The car was stored for two years and recently had a smog test and passed. I drove it 300 miles and started to notice the smell. When I get out of the car after driving it it's mostly coming from the front of the car.

Inspect for a leaky fuel line. The lines leak when they get old.
