Shell V Power for me all the way. Well 90% of the time. No ethanol in the vPower.
Stay away from e85 (15% ethanol) crap, it will void your warranty. The european gaskets and seals can't handle it. |

temps are higher in the summer, higher octane helps to avoid knock. In the winter, temps are lower and generally, 91 octane is acceptable, given that youre less likely to do "spirited" driving anyways. All personal preference really....

Thanks for the reply Turkish. What is knock exactly and is it something harmful that can effect my engine in both the short term and long term?

All motors knock under real world conditions and in terms of damage, severe knock can damage your motor instantly while low to moderate levels of knock will have long term impact on your engine. Best to avoid both. |

Here is the answer to your questions
I think No Ethanol should be your best choice,

Re ethanol comments - rumor is that BMW tests the fuel in the tank to determine the ethanol content and if its above a threshold (10%), they have given people issues with warranty claims and failed HPFP's. Dont have the threads handy but they have been posted on the US side... |
