Gas Level Dropping too low

!Xoible · 01-19-2009, 01:55 PM

I understand M engines eat up oil and you have to re-fill once in a while, but my problem is the gas level is dropping too low every couple hundred miles. it happens so quick, it happens within a day, i dont know what to do.

should i lemon the car? is this normal? i

all over the forum, please dont give me the

crap.

Are you sure? Last time I remember you saying that your SA told you the dipstick in your butt was so wide that they voided your warranty. Also, that your butt sensor was fried due to so much friction. Weird.

Gas level drops fast because M3 gas capacity is only 3.2 gallons. M division wanted to cut out some weight.

your a fucking riot ///Mantis

Mischievous M · 01-20-2009, 08:14 AM

Interesting mate... I haven't noticed my gas/oil level dropping over the last service @ 10,000kms. I'm now sitting @ 13,180km and just checked that my oil level is still above the half way on the digital board.

Perhaps, I am driving my ///M like a fairy.

Have the you seen the dealer? I'll ask my SM tomorrow when I drop into BMW to endorse my upgrades in my service profile.

GT3 Tim · 01-20-2009, 12:06 PM

Damn, I have the same problem....fuel level drops WAY too fast. I know the 13.5 mpg average has NOTHING to do with it...Maybe I chould schedule an appt to bring it in.

!Xoible · 01-20-2009, 12:28 PM
