I’m in the drivers seat and idling with the windows down and I can smell a faint, slight exhaust smell from the tailpipe with a downwind , is this normal? Stock car, no tune. This is after the car is warmed up and been driving for about 15 min. Most other cars I had like my M235I that I no longer have I couldn’t smell this smell at all. I don’t hear any exhaust leaks.

No it’s not normal to breath in exhaust fumes. Check the condition of the flex pipe on the DP or for evidence of soot at a pipe connection.
