Don'T Push It...

I have a 2001 330CiC. I'm usually not too concerned running the tank low, but on one occasion, I let it run low, down to about 5 miles to go. Was on a long stretch of country hwy and finally found an exit on a Sunday afternoon. Anxious to get to the station, I hit the exit ramp which looped around, took it kinda fast like I usually do (it is a bimmer after all), and the engine sputtered, almost stopped, then cranked up again. Seems the flinging around the ramp caused the gas to slosh around and almost run out. I did make it to a station but it screwed up my guages and other settings. So, I wouldn't encourage you to push it too far on a low tank.
