thanks man!I just checked the manual which says the range (100km or 85km in my case) is calculated on the basis of the way the car has been driven over the past 30km and the amount of fuel currently in the tank. I guess the fuel reserve never changes and the light will appear once fuel level has fallen to the reserve zone and in my case, the amount of fuel left in the reserve can only allow me to travel 85km this time instead of 100km in the past. But funny that it has been always 100km in the past 2 years.

with regards to my 2nd question - autologic is one of the BMW diagnosis equipment for sacnning faults and does a bit of programming too. My question is if a equipment like such plugs into my OBD and did some scanning about 2-3 minutes, will it affect the whole car's computer system? I guess not but just need opinions from others. is there any possibility that he change some setting/values via the scan to my car?

cheers!
