Then again my E91 has the well-known issue with the vent that means if it is much over three-quarters full it stinks of petrol - sometimes you just can't win.

Well it wouldn't be so bad if Z4s had 3 Series sized tanks! Another 8 litres would be useful.

Mines a 2010 SDrive 30l Auto and it's always been a pain to fill up unless I put the pump nozzle in 180 degrees around the other way. Then it goes in full chat and doesn't switch off. I just assumed it was the configuration of the pipework that was causing it to back up.

I put the nozzle fully in and then let it find a natural position to sit. It seems to work for me. The nozzle seems to come back out about an inch.
