When I go to the track, its shell vpower 100. Everyday driving I have to use the Esso Super plus. Works great for me.

I use Shell V-Power all the time. I don't know if it's actually "the best fuel", but for me it works great.
On a side note, the British tv show "Fifth gear" did a test on 3 diffrent fuels some years back on 3 different cars, and on the most powerfull car, a Subaru Impreza, the difference from "regular" fuel (as far a I remember) was about 15 hp at the crank with what they called Shell Optimax. I've never seen that name where I live, so I guess either they improved it or renamed it V-Power I guess the higher octane the better for our engines, especially if you run a tune. Edit: I found it here, turned out the "Optimax" was only 98 octane, but on he Impreza they gained 14 hp and 26 fpt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHwC...eature=related Last edited by G.I.Joe; 12-11-2010 at 01:10 AM..

The cheapest stuff RON 95 or 91 Octane is what is recommended.
I dont think there is a need for 100 octane for every day commuting. Personally I prefer Shell.

my 335i is from the usa as well and suggests i use 91AKI which is 95RON. i have actually not noticed a difference between omv100 and omv95. i have tried various 98 as well.
i would however recommend shell v-power as its been good to me in the past
