All silliness aside. It may be a leak under the bonnet, May be worth whipping the lid off and looking around. Diesel smells should be pretty minute coming from the back end as the cat, and DPF take a lot of the nasties out.
If its a really 'makes the nose itch' smell then Its a leak from the downpipe back to the catalyst system. I had a leak on the 300c, Only evident at slightly higher revs and at startup. Caused by a loose banjo clamp on the exhaust elbow to turbocharger. Previously it was leaking from the previous turbos casing. Which is why I replaced it. The tell tale sooty bits help immensely. |

A bit of tailwind at the lights is like farting in a closet

What about a leaking exhaust, this is normally cause for exhaust smell into the cabin, you think there is no leak but it sounds like youve not had it professionally checked?

FWIW I suffered a similar issue when an injector was beginning to leak and long before the chuffing stage.

Seriously, that would be one solution. Second is find a friendly local mechanic with a decent 4-post ramp and get it up in the air while a willing victim sits in the driving seat with the engine running. Get them to periodically give the throttle a hefty blip and from underneath observe the engines movement (possible engine mount failure) and the exhaust movement as it may have a small break in it that is only obvious on the over-run - you can't lay underneath it while decelerating for obvious reasons so blipping the throttle heavily will hopefully recreate the movement. Note that a 2-post ramp wouldn't be suitable, first there would be the problem of getting the willing victim into the car, second most 2-posters tend to let the car become unstable during procedures like this and you don't want it falling off! Last but not least, the suspension would be on full droop so may serve to restrain the engines movement by virtue of the driveshafts - unlikely but possible and you need to eliminate as many error factors as possible to try and find this.
