What type of fuel does my BMW take?

Check the Owner's Manual for model-specific recommended fuel as it may vary.

 

Depending on the region, many filling stations sell fuel that has been customized to winter or summer conditions. Fuel that is available in winter, for instance, helps make a cold start easier. 

For the best fuel efficiency, the gasoline should be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content.

Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as containing metal must not be used.

Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i.e., E10, may be used for refueling. 

The power and consumption specifications refer to operating with RON 98 E10 fuel

     

    Recommended gas quality

    91 AKI.

    M Performance model:

    93 AKI

    Minimum fuel grade

    87 AKI

    Using fuel with this minimum AKI rating may result in driving issues and strange sounds. Knocking noises may occur, especially when starting the engine at high temperatures. This has no effect on engine service life.
