    Gas cap takes too long to open

    Why does BMW make you wait 30 seconds before you can open your gas cap on the keyless GSA?


    I understand having to turn the engine off but the wait is lame lol. Do anyone know how to undo this feature?


    I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

    I think you're in the wrong forum bud.

          Maybe it's a new security feature. You know like the 5 minute time locks at the banks.

            The ignition or "power on" was not the culprit in my case. There was a defect with the cap itself that was the problem. The aluminum tab that engages the locking mechanism and the top of the cap itself would expand when hot and not retract fully to disengage the tab. My dealer stated that they have found this problem on several 2015 GS's with keyless ride. The tolerances on the locking mechanism are too tight on some of the caps. They are replacing the entire cap and associated hardware and re-linking my key to the new cap.

                  One of many reasons I like my old "SUZUKI" GS1000.

                      It may be a BMW feature that allows time for eating cheese and drinking wine before waiting for the attendant to pump your gas for you?
