Fuel gauge intermittent failure. Bmw's from 70's to '07 have been noted by owners as being a persistent problem. Most due to failure of the sending units. Many owners end up having the senders replaced multiple times d/t multiple failures of the sending units. My e36 has 2 sending units and i have been stuck on the side of the road multiple times. And the same for many other owners on bmw online boards/forums. I've been stuck in traffic where i merely missed an accident by maneuvering w/o engine power. Please look into this. Bmw has continued to have these problems and should recall the failed units that just keep failing. *tr
