Supermarket Fuel, Facts Please
Discussion
Just bought a 2012 640d and I have to say I am very impressed with its build quality and standards inside the cab. The 3ltr twin turbo diesel is the best diesel I have ever driven. Plenty of performance and loads of torque.
Now, as this is a 'high performance' diesel does it matter what quality of fuel goes in the tank?
Supermarket fuel, does it damage a highly tuned lump like that in the 640d?
Do I need to seek out and spend that little more on the specialty fuels offered on the forecourts of BP/Shell and the like?
Bloke down the carwash recons his mates turbo went because of supermarket fuel.
Just after some good advice from the sages of this wonderful site.

If you have fuel in the turbo it won't be due to where that fuel was purchased...
(OP, valid question, this bit just tickled me!)
