Bad Smell from Exhaust

Hey everyone,

I am new to both this forum and new to BMW. I purchased a 05 X5 4.4 in Oct. and every thing runs great but just in the last week my Wife noticed a bad smell coming from the underneath the car. I checked it out and this smell (stank) is coming from the exhaust. It almost smells like something is dead and not really a rotten egg smell.

Opinions will be appreciated.
