Depends what you drive.
My M135i, like many modern performance cars, needs 98 RON to give the quoted power and performance.
Ah I have an early 2000 scooby turbo. Dont think it really cares what I shove in it. The only thing it gets is good quality oil. 140k miles and still going strong.My M135i, like many modern performance cars, needs 98 RON to give the quoted power and performance.

Been true for all the time I've been buying BMWs. Thirty years.Especially true of the new generation of tubo petrols. You'll find this "disclaimer" in small print of official BMW data.
My car runs okay on 95RON. But for the full 322 bhp, you'll be needing a minimum of 98RON. Which is why mine gets an exclusive diet of the super go go juice

Of course it is true, it has a knock sensor, put 95ron in it will retard the timing and thus loose power and reduce mpg. It is around a 25-30bhp drop in power on the 335i, the M135i will be about the same.
On a remapped car the drop is more like 45bhp.
You also loose around 15% mpg wise too, so no point putting 95ron in, actually works out more expensive and you loose loads of power.

That has a knock sensor too, it will loose around 20-30bhp on 95. Edit: worth a read...

I know this is about unleaded, and this is about diesel, but, I filled up with Asda fuel last Monday as I had 10 minutes before collecting my son, was going passed and the range was saying 0 miles left. The diesel was at under a £1 still, think my local Shell was £1.06.
Thought sod it for one tank.
However, it is the first time I have had to fill up with less than 400 miles showing since the fill up, with a smidge over 61 litres going in it works out at 31mpg. I always, always get 450 miles from a fill up, and often get over 500 miles. I went to London and back as well on Sunday.
That is the worst I have ever got from a tankful, I never thought different diesel would make a difference, might keep things cleaner, but not an MPG difference. But that has changed my mind.
