My Ride: 530xi 2006 with nav and premium package
My car was showing 0 on display by the time i reach at gas station. After filling up gas, everything was smooth until evening and when i started again to go out, it was accelerating more than normal. Even when I'm trying to stop on signals it keep accelerating. And engine speed needle remains on 1. Is it something I can revert it normal?

0 what? Miles to empty? Fuel gauge 0? Your Tach is stuck on 1000rpm, yet the car is accelerating? How do you come to a stop if the car keeps accelerating? Engine speed won't slow down when you're stopped?
Curious to see what the problem is. Were you towed to the gas station? Otherwise I think the problem is not related to your car being almost out of fuel.
