Hi, just purchased a 2012 318 sport plus coupe, and the engine management light is coming on. Reset, and it's back on again, and the car feels slightly juddery, nothing major, just ever so slightly so.
Dealer says it's due to using supermarket fuel. Is there any substance to this, and has anyone had any similar experiences.

If the EML is coming on them it's throwing up a code or two, what are the codes?

Sounds like dealer is spinning a line. Go stick a tank of Shell 99 in it then see what it does.

I am sure a million people will chip in on this one and give their own different experience, but I have used supermarket fuel forever & never had random EML illumination, so ye, he is spinning you a yarn.
