if it was dark, why didn't he just back up 10 feet and use the headlights to locate the filler cap? what an idiot!

Again, it's like giving filet mignon to a pig: why does an idiot like that deserve to have a BMW M3 ?
I can't believe he actually put a sock in it...

The sock was initially funny, him asking if he could go to a jiffy lube to get his car fixed was the icing however.

Sorry bub, it'll take a bit more than an oil change.

Probably get a lot of oil splashing out, maybe some smoke from it hitting hot surfaces, but yeah, I'd say it would have been less harmful than having a sock wrapped around internal components.

I told my friend about this, and she was like whats that mean, so I told her the guy basically put a sock in his engine and got it stuck in the spinny thing that makes it go, and she was just like, wow, thats pretty stupid. That guy should be laughed out of the car world.

At least that idiot didn't use underwear!

Since it's a BMW, he should have plugged it with lederhosen.

From reading that whole thread, I got the impression there's a plastic tray under the engine that it got stuck in. I guess he couldn't get to it without removing the cover.

You are right. The plastic tray is removeable with the tools that come with the BMW toolkit in the trunk, however.
