Perhaps I missed it, but I am a bit surprised to not find this topic already on this forum.

I have a 2015 Cooper S that has stopped accepting fuel, regardless of the station, pump, angle of pumping, etc. I have read about a service bulletin ( link below ) that addresses a known issue impacting F56 (Cooper S) produced from 3/2014 to 7/2014. My Cooper S' production date is 6/2015. I replaced the fuel tank breather valve today, but that had no impact. It seems that both of the BMW/Mini dealers that I spoke with in my area are not familiar with this service bulletin. My intent is to attempt to get to the breather hose tomorrow and inspect its condition... Have any of you had this issue in years outside of what is published in the service bulletin? Is the only fix for this a fuel tank replacement, as other old forums suggest (reddit & minif56)? Any knowledge or experience that can be shared on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Colombia (South America), and BMW group here states that service bulletin only apply to US market so I had to take it by my own.

Fuel tank replaced, nothing else to do and problem fixed.

Since you are in US, even with the car out of warranty, they will have to change you fuel tank at no cost.

 

Its a bulletin, not a recall, so only under warranty.
A bulletin is only a sheet to help techs diagnose an issue.

 

Good to know the difference, I didn't knew.

Thanks!
