Well right before I pulled in my driveway the Increased Emissions warning light poped up and the service engine soon is on now... I have only about 4800 miles on her...
I called BMW they said sometimes when filling up with gas they don;t tighen it good enough and sometimes there air pockets... he said unscrew the gas cap then twist it back till you hear the click and within a day it should reset itself...
Anyone ever have this problem?

My Ride: 2006 530i
Previous Ride 93 525i (E34)
I am new to the board as a contributor but a long time observer and user of all of your helpful info.
The same emissions malfunction warning struck me today at 9300 miles. I called my SA, he mentioned about the gas cap being loose ? I checked it ? it was tight. He also said that it might take 20 on/off cycles of the ignition to reset the fault. I took it in anyway for an oil change and software update to resolve intermittent I drive screen freeze up?s and hopefully mp3 activation. I will post the outcome.
