Running low on gas shouldn't set off the CEL. If you left the engine running while you filled up, that would set it off. Chester =====

I might as well goto the dealer... <snip> You betcha. When I bought my M3, the roundels in the wheels were pretty trashed. Looked on eBay. $20+$7s&H "Buy it Now" for 4 stick on roundels. Stopped by my local independant shop and $17 (including tax) later, I was the proud owner of the 4 roundels I needed. How can it cost $7 to slip 4 disks of aluminum in an envelope? I recently saw the E36 Bentley manual for sale on eBay, bids starting at $55. Bimmerzone has it for sale everyday for ~$46. Caveat Emptor! Graeme

It will if you run low enough that the engine mis-fires (BTDT). If you have the Peake tool, Patrick, go ahead and read out the codes for reference and reset. All should be well.

CEL came on only when the sputtering began. Peake tool indicated "misfire detected, cylinder {2,3,6}". i reset the light while filling up, and haven't seen it since. zs
