buring rubber smell

Just had the same problem. From the rear of the car, on both sides I could smell it by the wheel wells. The smell for my car was oil burning on the exhaust. The seals for my spark plugs were going bad, about 36,000 miles on a 2000. Very inexpensive to fix. I hope it is nothing serious.

Today I noticed a slight burnt rubber smell coming from somewhere at the back of my car ('05 base Boxster, 5 speed). It *seems* to be coming from around the rear wheels.. but I'm not sure. This is after I've driven the car for only 10 or 15 minutes and not hard at all (not revving past 4000 nor driving more that 50 or 60km/h).

Any thoughts as to what this might be?
