My e34 535's fuel gauge is showing full when full and a quickly goes to 1/4 tank.(within a day or 60 miles). Any ideas if its the sender? the guage?

Most likely the fuel tank sender.

The gauges / instruments usually work from a voltage stabilised supply in the instrument panel and if the temperature gauge is OK, then the fuel gauge is OK.

most likely the fuel sending unit it should be accessible through the trunk.
