1st time M3 owner. Picking car up tomorrow, what fuel would be the best to use? Would Tesco super be ok as i live right next door? Cheers

Run mine on Tesco 99, no problems. Have used it on all of our cars for the past 9 years.

Aye no worries.

I'm a V-power man, but as long as you feed it the good stuff, there won't be any issues.

I use to use v-power all the time untill I nearly ran out and had to use Sainsburys and had no problems at all, since then I've used other super unleaded and still have no problems; althou I still get the dredded kankaroo jumping no matter which fuel I use, so when I start up cold and hear the engine reving up and down I give it a couple of minutes before setting off.
