My 545 will only take a gallon or two of gas at the the pump before it clicks off. I then have to reset it and it does it again.
Obviosuly some mis-alignment in the filler nozzle that the dealer will need to fix...just curious if anyone else has experienced this too

Too much pressure in the pump. Either don't squeeze the trigger all the way or try pulling the nozzle slightly away from the car. This is extremely common.

His last remark was something to the effect; "American's always in a rush, enjoy the nice car and your life!" I didn't take offense since he has seen more of life than I have and started to just place it on the half way click to fill my cars. Interesting what you can see at the gasoline station.

Thanks for the responses guys...
I should have added this is my 3rd E60 this year (525, 545, 545) and I've never had this problem before. In addition I tried 3 different stations and a couple different angles...I DIDN'T howver try any setting other than maximum in terms of how far I was squeezing the nozzle...I'll give that a go today
