Hi All

I'm due to collect my X3MC next week and just wondered what petrol you guys feed your beast.

Sorry if it's a daft question but this is my first M car and just wondered what you guys feed yours.

I have fed my current car(BMW F11 535) BP Ultimate as well as Shell V Power and to be honest I've not noticed a massive difference between the two.

Cheers in Advance Steve

Tesco Momentum 99 for me because shell garage too far away!

Says recommended 98 ron on fuel cap.

Yeah 98+, at any convenient location. Treat it well and it will pull like a train for you!

Same for me, best fuel by far.

V power 98ron or momentum 99ron depends where I am when I need to fill up👍

I always see Mclearn's at the Shell station near me, never at BP. That said I use both.

A friend in fuel development said additives make the difference and raise the cost. So quite a big difference between the big brands vs the discount suppliers. Per his advice don't buy the discount brand petrol it's not the same product.

V-power is 99 in the UK, oddly enough there isn't a premium fuel rated at 98 available in the UK it's either 97 or 99

I've never found a discernible difference between 97 or 99 myself but I found that 95 makes them feel flat higher up the rev range.
