Go back with an empty tank, bulletin in hand. If it doesn't work, threaten to call BMW NA. If that doesn't work, call BMW NA. Try Munich next. If that still doesn't work, call Gerhard Schr?der.

They didn't fill up for me either until I called their attention to the service bulletin. I also reminded them that they could get one day off the loaner expense (14 days total) according to the bulletin. The bulletin suggested a loaner and top up the tank as a good will gesture for the inconvenience to customers caused by the emissiion recall.
