There was an older episode of topgear where the guys ended up each buying themselves a convertible e30 318(?)

One of the challenges was having each of the cars interiors inspected by some forensics nerd..

If I'm remembering right... all the cars were found to have traces of feces, urine, sperm, girlie sperm, boogers... All of it.

Must be a bmw thing. Buncha horned up perverts.
ooooo!

Well. My beamer was a 'mid life crisis' car. It was kept immaculate, inside and out. But, my other cars I had during my 'wild oat' years. Yeah, ooooooo. Not sure there was feces in it, or urine. But everything else? Lets just say it probably looked like a Jackson Polick painting under a black light.

We had a mouse get in our Fortuner while we were away. Bought an ozone generator, it got rid of the smell.
We had a VW Camper for 12 years and lots of issues with mice. The smell is distinct and this doesn't smell like a rodent. More of a dirty sock smell perhaps? :)

Hey, well whatever the smell, the ozone generator will get rid of it. We have also used at our beach house to get rid of musty/moldy smells works fantastic.

Oh hell no! And leave permanent digital evidence? No!
The trick is to Google it but also include the name of the lawmaker in your constituency along with the word “sheep”.

Hey experts, I moved my heat control to the centre or dash vents today. When I did I got a strange smell. Its more musty than dead mouse smell. I don't notice it when heat controls are in 'Auto' or window/floor. Most days I have it on window/floor mode. Any thoughts?

I do have the air intake screened off so any mouse carcass would be very dried up by now and I would have smelled it way before now.

Thanks for any help.
I had the same issue with my 2021 I change the cabin air filter and it fixed the problem
