roshan Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Optimax cost a fortune compared to normal unleaded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Optimax cost a fortune compared to normal unleaded! [/ QUOTE ] But it is better for the car and in my scooby (excepting loony moments) I think I'm about even as I get better MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidicks Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Optimax cost a fortune compared to normal unleaded! [/ QUOTE ] For a good reason - it's much better. Look inside the fuel filler flap - BMW recommend using super unleaded. It's a 345bhp super car, don't try and skimp to save a few pennies. In any case, a lot of people reckon they get better mpg with Optimax, so that offsets the higher cost. My car never gets anything else............ sidicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSE Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Optimax or Super Unleaded. Dont use anything else. Manual stresses 97Ron and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuks Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 BP Ulimate is quite good i find - I am sure there is a tad more pull compared to normal unleaded (which I do put in time to time ) Or maybe its just me and there is no difference - does any one else notice an improvement?

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'd certainly only be putting Optimax or BP Ultimate in. Even then I use BP Ultimate only when I can't find an Optimax garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
