BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted December 11, 2012 My E34's manual says that you can run the M30 on 91, but M50's on 95. correct e34 535i 9:1 compression ratio , m50 525i etc about 10:1 compression ratio or higher depending which year etc older e28 535i 10:1 compression ratio is supposed to use 95min ron my m5 engine with 11.5:1 compression ratio only runs on 98 or lots of pinky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1044 Report post Posted December 11, 2012 Brents onto it. It mainly dependant on your compression ratio of YOUR engine. The DME will adapt to compensate however you can easily get out of range or worse knock / leaning out using the wrong fuels for what the combustion was designed for. Fuel consumption is subjective as well. As a lot of factors can come into play such as bad O2 sensors, bad fuel filter, bad injectors etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
