Same here. It's probably the tires. The G eats through them like nothing.

Really? I've driven the G37 sedan for 1 week (loaner) and it never got hot like the G does.

If you get a crack or tear in a CV boot on one of your axles, the grease will splatter out and when it gets heated up it smells like burning rubber. Check your front cv boots real good.

I got the same problem.... My opinion.. i think it might be the in cabin filter... if its dirty and **** and never been changed and over due, putting heat through it makes it smell worse...

just a guess...
