I had the same problem, replaced the fuel sending unit, $600 later problem solved.

I had this as well. one day. 104K miles or so, start it up after only parking for 5 minutes and says there's no gas (I just filled it up). Next day, started it up and it was fine. Checked codes with basic CAN0BD2 reader and the fuel sender error was there.

Also had a recurring code for "Emissions related problem, please see your BMW service center immediately" was an error on the thermostat. Cleared it, it came back, cleared it again. Nothing.

Nothing really. Replacing my sunroof gasket for wind noise, and my drivers side seat foam to make the seat feel like new again...but otherwise nothing that is really an issue.

cat converters and the navi with little bit of body work

When its very cold outside the navi is dimmed. Not sure, maybe thats how its supposed to be but when its very cold it will be really dim and later after a short drive lets say it goes back to normal.
Im out of hydraulic fluid apparently because when i go down my steep driveway it always gives me that suspension message showing the car leaning to the side. where can i buy that fluid, i checked that tank and it was empty, dont know where it went.

Every car I have ever owned with navigation has done this. I have always wondered why...I guess its normal.

Same observation here. Although it seems to be somewhat random. And my current issues 1) rear-end clunking - think it's guibo, 2) front end shimmy (new tires, new control arms/tension struts still did not fix - I think it is a wheel bearing at this point), 3) ASK unit causing right front speaker in door to have no sound, 4) minor - rattling sound when starting (loose heat shield or exhaust valve?)

1) front passenger tweeter out. may be amp problem.

2) nav computer needs replacing. reads original 2004 discs but won't read new 2011 discs.

3) phone cradle being replaced to use BTUM9000

4) oil leak that was supposedly fixed (in shop as we speak)

anything else...?
