Ulrich,
I had the same problem which my dealyer eventually fixed. The service rep said there is a service bulletin out that lay out a 3 stage sequence of repairs starting from easy to the hard fix. It took all 3 stages fo fix my car. The last fix replaced the sending and pickup unit in the tank. Earler fixes were......hmmmm...... one was reprogramming the computer, the other replaced something.....hmmm....behind the dashboard. Memory fails me. Good Luck,
.....Gary

unit that
I am counting two shop visits for fuel gauge/sending unit repair for my 96 1.9 Z3 and now a second visit for my 2000 M-Coupe. It's full, it's empty, it's full...UNBELIEVABLE.

Why does a car model that is in it's sixth model year still have a problem that has appeared in its first model year. If you look behind the passenger seat back you will see that BMW now pre-cuts the carpet to facilitate this common repair.

My questions: Why not solve the problem itself instead of making it easier to fix. I can pick a $500 beater off a used car lot and I bet the one thing that will work is the fuel gauge.

Just venting.

Ulrich
