I was surprised that BP wasn't on this list. Wonder why?

Interesting. Will have to do some searching and see why a major wouldn't make the list.

Is Sunoco really good? I usually use Mobil 1 gas stations... are these not so good?

If you drive 300 miles a week (about 60 miles a day per one work week)
and the difference between 89 and 91 is about 10 cents (pretty normal)
you get about 20 miles/gal. so about 15 gallons a week (roughly one fill-up a week, again pretty normal)
you will save:
15x$.10=$1.50 a week
or
$1.50x52=$78/year not to mention the lower fuel economy you will get. so I would say you would save roughly about $60/year.
Is it worth it to put your car through all this and risk further/more issues with your car down the road?
You don't need to answer, just think about it.

I am "down the road" a bit with my 740 and no problems for the last 145,000 miles burning 87. It requires 91 and is not a turbo so I doubt that the turbo in the 535 is the "main reason" for the 91 requirement in the 5er. Put 224,000 on my old Volvo buring 87 when 91 was "required" and never saw a problem down the road.
