At least you knew how to open the hood
In BMWs and some (maybe all?) VWs fill up from below. I hate BMWs a lot now. The VW Passat wagon I filled and drained a while back was a pleasure, though. Very nice car. I even fixed the guy's front bumper cover for free because I liked that car so much, AND the owner showed that he liked it quite a bit as well.
You still have to check the level with the car running, which is incredibly upsetting if you have it raised on jackstands because you have 0 lifts to use. Nothing like having to be within 2-3 inches of hot exhaust pipes and being unsure of where exactly the drive belts are.
