Will fuel nozzle fit a U.K. BMW?
Importing U.K. 440i in July and someone just raised this as a potential issue. Has anyone bought a EU 2017 BMW and managed to get the fuel nozzle to fit into the car in the USA?
If it won't fit does anyone know how I go about making it so it can? Can the receiver in the car be changed at a local BMW dealership for example? Thanks.

Looks like the only difference is the spring. I know that our diesel nozzle is bigger than the petrol nozzle, but I didn't know that they were a different size over seas

The difference I noticed was the size of the pipe on the car. If someone in the US posted a photo of the filler pipe entrance on their car that would probably clear this up.
