Diesel cars have just started to become popular here in Taiwan as the local petro-chemical supplier started producing semi-low sulfur diesels. I just took delivery of a 535d recently and immediately upon trying to fill up for the 1st time, i noticed the filler nozzles of gas and diesel is the same size. The smaller nozzle size of the diesel filler gun is unable to trigger the safty mechanism (metal flap), hence the filler gun cannot be inserted properly. My temp solution was to use a screwdriver to trigger one of the safty buttons within the filler hole, while depressing the other one with the filler gun.
Is there any other 535d owners from Taiwan on this board? I wonder if 520d have the same problem...

Hi, fmai
Here's a board in Taiwan : http://www.mobile01.com/topiclist.php?f=275
I believe many 520d owners get thru it.
More than happy to hear from your 535d driving experience up there.
