G20 gas tank 15.6 gallons or 13 gallons ??
Why bmwusa.com says the 330i xdrive has a gas tank size of 15.6 gallons but my 2019 330i xdrive only seems to have 13 gallon gas tank. Is there 2 different gas tank options or is my car just not filling all the way full.

All cars do this, when you go fill up it's always going to be 1 or 2 gallons below the actual gas tank size. Keep in mind that there is fuel in the system, like the fuel lines, etc.
The Range the car shows, even if it's at 0 doesn't really mean it's dry, there will always still be about a gallon left. I've seen my range go to 0 several times in a previous generation 3 Series that has a 15.8 gallon tank and the maximum amount of fuel I've ever been able to pump is 14.6 gallons. Hope this helps. |

I had the low fuel level light come on when I had around 65 miles remaining. Average mileage on my car right now is 22.2mpg. So roughly 3 gallons left in the tank?
I filled up 13.2 gallons worth of petrol for a full tank after that. So yes. I’d say it’s around 15.6 gallons or so. |

My owner's manual says I have a 15.6 gallon tank and when my computer says I have 4 miles left, it held 15.5 gallons. I know it's bad to go really close to empty but based on every other car I've ever had, when it read "0 miles to empty" I expected 1 to 1.5 gallons of reserve. This car literally tells you when it's empty. It's very hard to see "50 miles to go" and actually go fill up bc I'm conditioned to believe there's an extra 30 miles of range beyond that 50. |
