Hello:
A few weeks ago I noticed what appeared to be some mouse activity under the hood of my E46 BMW. I looked around and didn't see any damage.
About this time every 2 or 3 years I do a full detail, including the engine compartment and the entire undercarriage. In order to clean some of the nooks and crannies, I remove the air box and the windshield washer reservoir. Look at what I found inside the air box! Glad I did this!! As you can see, the rodents started to eat the air filter itself, but thankfully not all the way through. I'm fortunate the engine didn't inhale anything!
I included some other pictures of my detailing progress so far. Car is a 2003 BMW E46 330Ci. 93K miles on it. I am the original owner and special ordered it from the factory because I didn't want a sunroof. The car has not once been driven in the rain or on a wet road, literally so. I have other cars for that.
The under trays are off so I could inspect and clean, plus the serpentine belts are off because I am replacing them.
Anyway, some pictures. FWIW.
