What Fuel Brands Are Best for BMWs?

Using lower-quality fuel can lead to serious issues like engine knocking or even long-term damage. Stick to recommended brands to avoid these risks!

Absolutely! I had a friend who used a cheap fuel brand and ended up with costly repairs. Better safe than sorry, right?

Yikes! That’s scary, Mitchell! I’ve never tried 76, but now I’m hesitant. Best to stick with brands that are tried and tested.

It’s worth noting that using non-recommended fuel can void your warranty as well. Always check your manual!

That’s a great point. A lot of people overlook warranty issues until it’s too late!

I’ve always used premium brands like Shell or BP for my BMW. They really help in maintaining performance - no knocking and better mileage!

Yeah! I’ve had similar experiences. Premium fuels seem to do wonders for engine performance!

So true! It’s just smart maintenance.

Honestly, the cost difference isn’t even that much compared to what you could lose in repairs. Invest in good fuel!

What about those gas additives? Do they actually help with engine knocking or are they just a gimmick?

Sometimes I feel like all the fuel brands are trying to sell us on gimmicks. Just stick to the recommended ones!

Haha, exactly! At the end of the day, common sense goes a long way.
