Guys, WTF is this? My Car REEKS!!!!

[Drew1204]

Guys,

I drove my car home for the summer, but with it being a lease and 12k miles per year I couldn't put the miles on the car to drive it 1800 more miles back. So I had my M3 transported from IL to AZ and when I got my car back it smelled weird, and I couldn't explain it. I thought something died in my car... I called the transporter and explained to him that it smelled TERRIBlE in my car -- he reassured me that he never ate in the car, spilled anything etc. My car was in an enclosed carrier and was wrapped in plastic so nothing could spill on it.

I looked through every crevice and I found this CRAZY nasty looking fungus underneath my passenger seat...

Here is a picture I took with my iPhone:

Again, it smells like a dead fish, wet cat food etc.

NO, I never spilled anything, nor did anyone else (friends, GF etc) and I am the only one that drives the car so no one could have driven it and tried to cover it up... This just showed up!

Looks to me like some kind of fungus or something... this picture is underneath the passenger seat.

I have been driving the car for about two weeks like this, could I have any potential health risks from breathing the air and what do you think this is?!

Thanks for your help...

I can't really poor anything or spray anything, because in the M3 the subwoofers are underneath the seats so I don't want to short circuit anything.

I was thinking about taking it to the dealership but they'll probably just blame me and say I spilled food, which I NEVER do.

I think its The Andromeda Strain

How long have you owned this car? Looks like some kind of meat.

2 years!

Did you check the Mileage BEFORE you put it on the Transporter and AFTER you got it off the Transporter. I think some dirtbags took you car out for a night on the town and jammed some Micky D's under your seat or something after a night on the town.

Ew wtf that's nasty.

Looks like my ex-girlfriend's yeast infection!

Seriously though brother, take some of that to a lab. I want to know what it is

 

[va boy]

Not saying that you did it, but, that sure does look like rotten food to me?
Taste it and let us know!

Looks like the transporter ate roast beef and mashed potatoes and then shoved what he couldn't finish under your seat...

 

[MONTYKEATING]

That is the most bizarre and disgusting thing ever. Maybe aliens attempted to abduct your car and died in the process, leaving their decomposing remains behind.

 

[DomesticAbuse]

looks like it's on a rubber floor mat and you just take that mat out?

 

[crew_dawg16]

Dude, pull the seat out and clean it up....


You really need a dealership to clean your car for you?

 

[konradr]

Pretty sure one of the drivers BM'ed and stuffed the evidence under the seat. Months and months of high temps and moisture have surely run their course. Physically getting that out of the car is not that difficult, but the smell, on the other hand, that will be the challenge my friend. May the force be with you.

Cool pic, now clean it up and move on.

 

[VirtualSVT]

Neat. Now go to a car wash with a wet/dry vac and clean it up.

 

[FCCS]

Send specimen to FDA???

 

[konradr]

Pat dry, dont rub.
