Check out this thread:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...full-tank.html There are many other similar threads, it seems to be a common problem.

My dealership reset the fuel sensor and it seems to work fine for the past 4 months.

well I've been using Hess and Sunoco gas exclusively and this happened... don't think they sell bad gas.
It finally corrected itself in the afternoon, after driving 20 minutes and having it parked for 5 hours. It was fixed upon that next startup. Reading that Techron (aka BMW branded) fuel system cleaners fixes potential problems with fuel gauge sensors as well.

I just bought an 09 CPO and noticed that the tank never went all the way up, but didn't really put much more thought into it. Last week I filled up with 15 gallons (had a quarter tank) so it should have been full but it only went to 3/4. I took it in and they said they fixed it. Filled up again tonight and it still won't go all the way to the 1. Sounds like that's common, but is that normal?
Here's where it went tonight... |

Same problem with 09 3.0, had the dealer look at a few times when in for service and they could not find a problem.

Bad fuel sensor. Had mine replaced under warranty last week !

The issue with the needle never reaching the 1 is a different issue than what I posted here originally. The cause for my issue was the "fuel level sensor wire burnt". They patched it up and it was fine again.
I've seen what you guys are talking about though in other threads, but this is not it. Just wanted to clarify.

It just happened to me two weeks ago. It showed I had 3/4 fuel when it had a full tank. After a day or so, it seemed to have corrected itself. But ill be mentioning this the dealer when I get it service next. Might as well while its still under warranty.
