I've heard about this before with 1ers. Funnily enough, when I got my new 135i and fueled it for the first time the same thing happened to me. I put in about almost 7 gallons (into an almost empty tank) and the pump started shutting off. I kept squeezing a little more thinking there was just an air bubble I had to get past, but less and less went in between shut offs until it overflowed on my shoes, which surprised me because no way the tank could be full. Sure enough, when I got in the car and started up the tank was just over half full. One thing I noticed was that the fueling area was on a slight incline so the car was not completely level. The next time I refueled I made sure the area was completely flat. Oila, no problem. So maybe that has something to do with it.
