I would have thought that the car's handbook would stipulate the technical standard the fuel used must meet and these numbers are usually on the forecourt pump. I would surprise me if the "cooking" Shell petrol did not meet the BMW M3 standard. John

I think if I read the manual for my bike ( 10.500 rpm max shift 11000 limiter) it specificaly tells me that " super grade " fuels will not offer any advantage over the basic bog standard cooking petrol. Our company car policy specificaly forbids us to use Ultimate type diesels as there has been no real proved advantage v the increased costs based on most of our motors doing 80K miles in 3 years ( except mine which spends most of it's life in airport car parks |
