What owners wrote
Fuel gauge reads 1/4 tank off from the correct level. This cause drivers to assume that they still have gas but they really empty and if happens on highway can cause accidents and kill people. It happened to me going to the grocery store so it was on low speed so the car stopped and luckily the car behind kept distance and could stop without any accidents.
On my 2001 BMW 330ci the passenger fuel tank trap has broken off. My fuel tank was hanging half way down almost touching the floor.
