My assumption is that the needle position and the low gas light are based on the exact same sensor.

I don't know. You could test that but you'd have to readjust the needles to be incredibly off to confirm it.

I get the feeling they aren't related.

Anyone have an RTAB tool besides Marcus? I can't reach him.

Dario, I rented it from Marcus but it's been sitting in my garage cuz I haven't had time to pull the OEM RTABs out. Was hoping to use it Friday but not sure I will get to that, then I am traveling a bit after that. If you work a deal with Marcus where I send it to you before or after I use it, that's fine with me.

Sweet. I messaged him and if he responds I'll let you know!

The light comes on when there are 60 miles left to a tank, according to the "distance to go" readout on the OBC.

Anybody know what the center cap emblem size is on the 18" CSL reps? I see all kinds of sizes and I have one missing. I'm about to order a bunch more shit for my car...

Should be the same as OEM far as I'm concerned.

I read on e46 fanatics that 64.5 was the size but googling the OEM size I find 68mm? Then I see 70mm? I'm having trouble here.
