335i Burning oil smell

Just picked up a lightly modified 335i and when I get moving pretty fast I get a burning oil smell. I'm not sure if that's normal because of the mods the vehicle has. I've listed the mods below and was hoping someone might know what is causing it. Thanks!

Vishnu Procede Rev1 V3 (This should be the only thing that might cause it, but I've listed more just in case)

STETT Intercooler
STETT CAI
AA Exhaust

Any help is greatly appreciated.

could be an oil leak. check the oil filter housing and valve cover for leaks as those are common.
