Fuel tank size?
I can't seem to nail down whether it's 14.5 or 15.5 gallons (US). Both numbers seem to show up in Google search. Anyone knows?

While I am unsure of the official size, I can say I have never put more than 12.5 US gallons in my Z4. So either the reserve is much bigger than I think or the gauge is off. Maybe others can share their largest fill and typical fill numbers.

Therein lies the discrepancy. Mine is on page 148 of the manual (both print version and PDF version):

Wait a second... I think I figured it out! Google says 55 Liters = 14.5 Gallons! That must mean there's a misprint in the manual!

I checked the manuals. For 2009 and 2010 it says 15.5 gallons, but for 2011 and 2012, it says 14.5. But all 4 years say 55L, so I really think it's a misprint.
