Sold after 11 months of ownership. My final post and final thoughts.

[RY-Journeyman]

Same. 2023.

I coded the ECU on my BMW to make sure it never functions. Off is off is off 100%. There is no on any more!!

My BMW doesn't. It resets every fire up.

I’m starting to think it might be an M car feature because both my M2 and M4 remember.

For reference, it is the latest generation Z4M40i

It may be a location thing rather than a model specific thing.

My X4M40i wouldn’t originally remember the setting but my dealer updated the software for it. Both the other cars remember. 2022M4/2023 M2

The check engine light after fueling has been a known issue for well over a year.
When filling the tank the pump automatically clicks off when full.
If you then continue to add fuel it registers as overfill anad alarms.
I guess they use the check engine light warning in yellow, not red as they ran out of lights.
Simple fix is not to keep trying to squeeze more in.
Over a year ago I stopped doing it and haven't had the problem since.

Is there a way to reset the check engine warning light without going to dealer so I can use the cruise control. My dealer is 3+ hours away.
Thanks

A lot of us are using this one. I never use cruise control, but that reader cleared my gas cap error code just fine.

A cheapo scan tool can do it, we're talking like $30.

Bold part not necessarily true. It'll do it after the pump clicks itself off initially, sometimes.

That there may be other true scenarios, has no impact on the truth of his statement.

DaveB was clearly giving the narrative of how to exercise the fault. The bolded part is not necessary to exercise the fault. Perhaps I should have said, "the bold part is not necessary" instead of "not necessarily true", however, in the context of giving a narrative of how the fault is exercised, the sequence is not necessarily true, as I said.

Furthermore, framing it as a fault that happens as a result of the user doing something improper (continuing to add past full) is gaslighting. Clearly it can fire the check engine light when filling the normal way to the first click, and everyone knows this.

True. Especially in states that have vapor recovery nozzles. Filling past the first click can cause gasoline (petrol) to get into vapor line of the hose. Also fueling with a nozzle inverted defeats the purpose of the nozzle shut off sensor.

The gas cap issue has happened more with my Wrangler than it ever did with my Grenadier.

Well this has garnered a few words in addition to the OP’s 2p

Let’s close it out as I think this has ran its course.
