“Nearly ran out of gasoline because the gas gauge is not accurate. At an indicated 1/2 full, the car is down over 9 gallons and the tank hold about 12.5 gallons. Using the gas gauge there is no way to tell how much fuel remains in the tank.”
NHTSA complaint #10629419, filed 2014-08, 9,000 miles“The fuse box JBE module has a Quality Assurance problem with a solder connection to the NEC low pressure fuel relay. This is a known issue with BMW/Mini. The car suddenly stalls without warning. If the driver is not keen or if traffic patterns do not allow, the car can be left in very dangerous situations on the highway or in the middle of intersection. The repair for this problem is widely distributed online via blogs and YouTube, but replacement modules are $1500 (part only) and these modules are not available until at least October 2023. …”
