Probably BMW's sensor is not unique to this car in terms of resistance, but I am not sure.
This link probably won't work but realoem does not show a separate sensor. Looks like it is part of the tank.

F10 M5 tank has separate sensor. Obviously tank levels differ. Maybe it is just an in/off switch and that is all you need for a custom tank. If low, a ground is broken and a warning light goes off. Or maybe it is much more complicated and a signal goes to the ECU to pull timing, limit power, etc. Worth researching that. |
I wonder if the sensor is pressed into the port? I think the chances are high the sensor is installed after the tank is molded and assembled/glued together. It may not be removable, but perhaps BMW sells the sensor separately.
