The frustration I felt standing around for nearly 3 hours waiting for the AA man to appear is offset by the fact I'm not facing a big bill of some sort...just!
No very common on the E39s, one of your tank units is reading incorrect. Usually it's the one with the fuel pump built into it, the one on the drivers side. It can be taken out and you can clean the contacts on it.
