We had that happen to our old X5. We found out when my wife went to get gas one day, she had only a 1/4 tank left, gas pumped for about 10 seconds and stopped. Attendant tried again, and again, same thing. Wouldn't take more than 1 or 2 gallons. Rodent had chewed through the wires by the gas tank. I think it cost us about $300-$400.

Not a BMW story but years ago the lovely brides father was driving to work at about 80kph when a mouse stuck it's head up from the intake vent in front of the windshied. I'm not sure who was more startled - the brides father or the mouse.

I have this in my garage just in case. We don't have rodent problems, but I'm not taking a chance...

omg some of the pictures in this thread is making me want to puke. I hate everything rodent, roaches, 6+ legged critters, insect, cold blooded related. My bro would definitely be the one handling all that mess!

As much as I like your device...I prefer a more "direct" approach. This way, his friends can get the message to locate elsewhere.
