I am wondering whether there is something BMW can do about fuel indicator to stop falling from full to half sharply.It does causes a lot of problems to the driver regarding available fuel in the tank vs distance to cover.

This is a minor issue. The bike has 2 tripmeters. I use 1 for miles since I filled up, and the other for trip distances. Ignore the gas gauge. Usually my gas gauge indicates 1/2 around 100 miles after fill-up. This bike gets waaaay better with miles.

The indicator is faulty because of the odd shape of the fuel cell. Like the other poster mentioned its best to use the triptometers to kgauge your fuel mileage. I usually go 210-220 miles before putting in approx. 4.3gal.
