The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

That could be possible. Does the light correlate with needle position or the actual sensor? In other words, if the gauge was slightly off, would the indicator turn on at the wrong time, or are they unrelated?

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.
