Is there a way to get the 63L tank to read right on M3 clocks? I believe it wont read right as it was originally 55L, or am I confused?

Simple sender swap?

I think I recall it being a matter of matching the sender to the guage in the clocks Dan. I think my fuel guage is all confused because I kept the sender from my 318 instead of the 325. Nobjockey.

Worst comes to the worst you can swap the guage from a 325i or something...

Gauge and twin senders are needed

I recently swapped my 325i clocks for M3 ones and filled up and tested the petrol gauge...fell to zero twice as quick (as expected after researching on here)
So I swapped the petrol gauge from the 325i cluster, but retained the red needle and face. Now works fine. HTH

So i thought..........all M3's had the 63L tanks and the sport evo had the 55L tank.

Dan its a plug in loom, from any car with a big tank easy!
