"Hello, I would like to schedule my car to be brought in for some issue I have been having"..... Take it in your under warranty and the gas gauge should not do that, could be the filter/sensor/pump combo that bmw uses now instead of 3 separate parts. Use that warranty for all it is worth.... pre HD based BMW are super slow. My 07 x5 backup camera was useless because the car was sooooooo slow to boot and activate

Can you replace the DVD based system with a HD based one? I have an appointment on Monday and would like to request that if possible.

Your dealer will refuse it 100%
www.bmwretrofit.com - these guys did it for me (with my participation) and I am sure they can do it for you with no problems

The truck is leased so unless the dealer will do it for free as part of the replacement, I have no interest. Thanks for the help, I will update the thread after I hear back from the dealer.

i had the same issue with the gas gauge on my 2011 x5. When i filled up the car the gauge did not go all the way to full using 93 octane BP gasoline. any updates from the dealer? was it a mechanical/sensor issue? Also this is a newbie question but i was just interested: i do not have factory navigation on my car, but what would happen if i put a bmw navigation disc in my cd drive? would it read it at all? Just curious and probably a stupid question lol

The dealer said there was a problem with the gas gauge sensor and was able to correct it (not sure how).

In terms of the navigation system, they said it had some kind of error code. It was reset; unfortunetely that didn't fix the problem. I explained the symptoms I was seeing when I dropped the truck off, and suggested a DVD drive replacement was warranted, but they must not have felt like paying for replacement parts. I guess I will have to make another trip down to the dealer.

This will be my 3rd trip to the dealer for electronics that have broke on this car (09 X5 4.8 with under 9k miles). This will probably be my last BMW until they make some improvements with their electrical systems.
