Ethanol mixture in 98 ok for E60 M5

Recommended Posts

Hi, my E60 M5 owners manual recommends 98 RON unleaded fuel. I usually fill up with 95, but found a gas station around the corner offering 98 at a reduced price cheaper than 95 even. Does contain 10% ethanol. Is that a problem?

E10 should be ok, but if you want the full performance you need to use the good stuff. I don't want to sound like an a55h0le but if you can't afford to run your M5 on 98, you can't really afford to own an M5.

The line is a bit blurrier than that with regard to different versions of 98.  Why would you use a fuel that is more expensive for no benefit? 

I personally don't use E10, as my local servo is Mobil with 98 (which might actually have some E in it as well), but I wouldn't have any concern using Gull E10 in my M5.

95 on the other hand I would avoid.

BP I have found have silly mark ups on their premium fuels, usually 10c higher than the competition.
