I've owned my 335i for 4.5 months and have only ran it on V Power. It performs great and on runs (going easy, sticking to the speed limits) I have had 34mpg. Can't complain.

Mine has done that on a couple of occasions. However, it's more like to be HPFP than the fuel itself. I'm going to get BMW to take a look next time it's in. Could be a warranty job........

Needless to say I have tried every fuel and Momentum works best for me and is about 13p a litre cheaper than V Power |

First thing I've noticed on vpower is the idle is smoother - on 95 Ron I could feel the idle through the car a little, not misfiring but just tiny vibrations - I'm super sensitive , or paranoid lol.
Since running on vpower I can't feel anything at idle, it's smoother. |

Vpower in winter would sometimes give me the erratic idling on a cold start. Rev hunting.
I have video of it somewhere. The car sometimes would shake and the CEL come on. M3 owners had reported the same on an M3 site.

That's really weird, did anybody find out why it caused that?
