Funny - I had the same problem with my E46 (not 100% they were mice though). Some form of rodent was crawling up into the engine bay and making its home on the intake plenum.

I found moth balls did a good job keeping the rodents (mice?) out. I poured some moth balls into a tray I made from aluminum foil and placed the tray of moth balls on top of the engine.

moth balls x 2

Use Irish Spring (original green) soap. It works the best and smells much better than moth balls.

I put peanut butter on my mouse traps, the sprinkle with Cinnamon. Has worked every time for me.

I used to have an 86 Carrera. Somebody crawled up one of the heater tubes while I had the motor out.....and died. I could not drive the d*mn car for six months because of the smell. What a mess. Tried every way I could think of to get the remains out. Never did.

I'll never own another Porsche.

Seal any holes in your storage space foundation with copper mesh and spray foam. Replace your garage door bottom seal. Put snap and glue traps along the inside edges of the door. Mice have poor eye sight and follow walls. Could also put glue traps all around each tire.

One thing I did that worked was to open my hood when I'm not driving the car. I did see some "activity" under the hood during one winter, and I found this tip on the web - the cozy engine compartment is less cozy if the hood is open all the time. I've never seen any evidence of anything for years.

Your car might have an underhood light, though. You would have to deal with that somehow.

Some of these other tips are excellent as well. Good luck.
