Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Fuel gauge intermittent failure. Bmw's from 70's to '07 have been noted by owners as being a persistent problem. Most due to failure of the sending units. Many owners end up having the senders replaced multiple times d/t multiple failures of the sending units. My e36 has 2 sending units and I have been stuck on the side of the road multiple times. And the same for many other owners on Bmw online boards/forums. I've been stuck in traffic where I merely missed an accident by maneuvering w/o engine power. Please look into this. …”
