good day to all, i have a 1991 320iSE. Everything works on the OBC, except when I check the range of the fuel? When the fuel light is on ie:zero fuel, it gives me a range of 300km? unless it can run on a sniff of fuel, unlikely, then there is a prob. how does it get its reading? Any help would be great!!!

Never tried it, but ther's an adjustment under a little blanking plug in the lower left corner, IIRC.

To get a remaining fuel reading, press the 1000 & 10 buttons simultaneously. Fill the car up, and then turn the screw behind the bung at the bottom left corner until the display reads your tank capacity.
