Check gas cap. Clean or replace. Check purge valve to see if there is suction. If so, replace it.

I had to replace gas cap on both our M54. You can also often just refresh the o-ring by flipping it over and lubricating it

Touchless car washes don't truly remove "all" of the dirt and grime as there needs to be some kind of friction to do that. Car washes with the brushes will create micro scratches at least no matter how "clean" the brushes are.

And yes, you will get microscratches. But not a whole lot more than just using your car day to day. Hell, stray cats do 1000000x (anyone know a good way to "get rid" of strays?) more damage to the paint on our vehicles than any amount of washing. A once a year polish takes care of all the microscratches. If you never wax/polish your paint, then maybe after 5 years a tunnel wash could ruin your paint job. But even then I'd bet a good paint correction could bring it right back.

You guys think stray cats are bad for paint, try toddlers
