Great - thanks guys. I thought it was fishy when the original owner told me to use 91

Hi guys, I know this has been asked many times before on the interwebs, but I just want to make sure I'm running the correct fuel here in NZ. Just bought a used 120i which was originally a Japanese import. The only owners manual I was able to find online is U.S.A. and doesn't cover this model (does anyone know where I can get a NZ 120i owners manual pdf?) In the U.S. manual it says: AKI 91 (RON 95) is highly recommended. You may also use gosoline with less AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is: - 128i: AKI 87 (RON 91) - 135i: AKI 89 (RON 93) Is the same model car tuned to use the same octane worldwide? i.e. RON 95 here in New Zealand. Or would it by any chance have been tuned differently for Japan? The guy I bought it off told me he had been using RON 91 while he owned it - which is why I'm confused. Thanks, Barry.

Hiya Eagle, Based on what I found on google, it looks like its not possible to update the software on these to English. Is that your thoughts as well? Thanks, Baz

Hi guys, Looking at buying a used 118i. It's a japanese import and looks like it has an aftermarket stereo or sat-nav fitted. Can anybody tell what make/model the stereo is and if it has an English language option? Thanks! Barry
