Drove less than a mile to get gas. I had not driven the M3W in two days. Put gas in, did not even come close to over filling, shut the cap and went into the store to buy a paper. Came out minutes later and saw gas dripping rather fast from in front of the rear tire. Large enough spot that it was as wide as the vehicle. Moved it forward, started up, went about 60 feet and experienced the worst vapor lock or rough engine I have ever had. After 60-90 seconds I got enough power to run although it sputtered for the next half mile. 2 miles later running smooth, pulled over and no drip, none since. Any ideas or just another M3W experience?

Exact symptoms experienced by my mate Dave when he had his 2012 model car. He never got to the bottom of it, but my 2013 car never did the same things. Suspect the breather pipe is illogically routed somehow, somewhere.
