Will try the RON100 after this If you don't modify your 330i to boost higher, no point using 100 I think, and don't expect better mileage if any would offset the big price difference. As for your other 2, total waste of money filling up 97 for them, just 95 is good enough.

The petrol cover did say "RON95 (min RON92)" The compression ratio is also only 11:1 compared to other cars like Mazda with 13:1 But some people (who don't drive this car) keep telling me to fill up RON97 to avoid knocking. Not so sure now, no one can give definite answer (other than that BMW petrol cover la)

Not so sure now, no one can give definite answer (other than that BMW petrol cover la) Sorry, is this the 330i F30 or the old 330i E90? If compression ratio is 11:1 with turbocharged, then I think 97 is safer. Having said that since BMW put 95 on the fuel cover, then surely they have adjusted the tuning to suite 95, hence it should run perfectly fine with 95 and the improvement of 97 might not be significant. Mazda 13:1 compression is because it's GDi NA engine. Like my Mark X, 12:1, yet I just fill up 95 for it! This post has been edited by 6UE5T: Apr 19 2020, 04:31 PM

Unless the car had been sent to sunway for ecu tuning/ remapped etc, definitely they load up the ron97 for better hp, torque gain on the graph This post has been edited by ayamxxx: Apr 19 2020, 08:01 PM

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Apr 17 2020, 09:51 AM) Shell's V Power Racing (Red) is basically their regular VPower Ron 97 (Green) with added addictives. With the added additives, it will still be Ron 97 though Shell claims additional benefits like better performance. I don't fill up with V Power Racing, rather going for Petron's Ron 100 which cost less than V Power Racing. Ron 100's higher octane is a different level of fuel than any Ron 97 no matter how good one can claim it to be. Same with my Bimmer,no difference in performance with Shell Vracing. With a $1 diff in price, no tq shell, am sticking with Ron95! Mine tuned to Ron98. No issues with Ron95! I think Shell Vracing is a gimmick! Will try Petron ron100 next!

Diff in price $1.01. There is no difference in power on my engine which is tuned for Ron98!

To be honest, in most normal street cars you won't notice any difference between 95 and 97 despite some cars are claimed to be tuned 97. Most people say more power la, smoother la, more fuel efficient la, are mostly just phsycological placebo effect! Lol

Then you will get an idea why 97 better than 95. There are meaning behind those numbers

Beyond lower than $0 and pay ppl to get rid the oil, this is really historical moment (all-time low).

Beginning to wonder if Bimmer is lying here on this engine performance with higher octane fuel! Is this a German auto trend? Will carry out test runs on different fuels to come to my decision!
