There has been a misunderstanding
I didnt mean the they changed my engine to the new one. Obviously this is impossible.
///Marco.it described what i had in mind in post#2.
Concerning the fuel quality, i have always used 100 octanes or at least the highest available in any random petrol station.

Yup! BMW Sweden recommends 95E for all petrol driven versions, except the M-series.
