you'd better smell that. it's from the pads burning and also the the hot rotors mostly. sometimes it's from the hot tires too. you shouldn't smell much from the engine otherwise it's bad. and if you have the car a/c system under recycle other than fresh air, you shouldn't smell anything when coming to a stop
