Alright everyone,
This is a really, really dumb question. How big is the gas tank on an E46 328i?????
The reason why I ask is this....from most printed materials including the owners manual, the car has a Fuel Capacity of 16.6 gallons, but the Owners Manual also lists the 2.1 gallon reserve capacity.
I was always under the impression that thte reserve capacity was included in the total 16.6 gallons, but lately, I've noticed that when I'm near empty (yes, I know, it's bad).....I end up putting in approximately 17 gallons.
My question is this...are the pumps ripping me off, do the capacities not include the gaspipe, or is our gas tank actually 18.7 gallons (i.e. reserve capacity is not factored into the 16.6).
Thanks for your help!
