Today i reset soc to 100% after a charge and drove 10 miles. Fuel gauge dropped to 3/4 from full. Went for another drive later and gauge restarted at full despite my not charging or resetting the soc. Hmmmm. That bmw fuel gauge is weird. I'm sure i'll be spending plenty of time getting it working properly but at least it kinda works now which i'm happy with. I had considered one of the evworks zeva gauge drivers but from watching Jack Rickard having weeks of fun getting it setup i decided to pass. Glad i did.

Mrbigh , that block is the one specified by Chris on the bom. I believe its 5mm pitch. I did replace the little molex connector for the 12v and gnd with a 2.5mm pitch phoenix screw terminal i had left over from the bms. Which , by the way , is working great sitting on the shelf above the computer here
