He says CBS programmed to allow/limit reset after each new full tank.
Yes, I'm skeptical, but he's been working on BMW for 40 years....so it's worth a try before having dealer disable a nice feature.

He's wrong, respectfully. I went from 221,000 to 307,000 before I had mine coded out. During that time, I filled the tank full at least 2 times per week. 245 fill ups (all full tanks) and 3,227 gallons of gasoline.
Trust me, the only way to fix it is to code it out.
