My Ride: E61 525iA Build 2004/08. "Safirschwartz Metallic". Navi Pro, Adaptive Headlights, Bi-Xenon, Panorama Sunroof etc... CIP 18.00.01 (No noticed bug)
I know there is another thread about which gas you use for your E60. I noticed a lot of posts about "Shell V-Power", and it seems that in different markets it's all from 91 to 100 octane (here in Sweden it's 99 octane). Would it be better to drive V-Power 91 octane or "normal" 95 octane?
If you compare 92, 95 and 98 octane "normal" gas and 99 octane V-power, the price difference is substantial.
At the same time I'd like to feed my E61 with the best drug...

My Ride: 2004 March E60 530i, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather, Style 124 18" Alloy, Active Steering, Adaptive headlights, Auto-Dim Int+Folding Ext Mirrors, Auto Aircon Advanced, Brushed Aluminium Trim, CD Changer, Comfort Seats, De-Chrome, Dynamic Drive, Electric Glass Sun Roof, Graduate Tinted Windscreen, Heated Front Seats, Natvigation Professional, Sport Steering wheel, Sun Protection Glass, TV function
In the UK, there are 2 unleaded (95 RON and 98 RON). I used to feed it with 95 RON but recently I've changed to 98. What gets me is that it's 5p more expensive a liter (97p) but I can't feel NO difference in terms of performance or fuel consumption. 1 gallon can only cover 26 miles.
BTW, I had a E90 320d loaner today (first register on 6th Sept)
and that can do 47 miles per gallon 
It's a good car but when I took mt 530i back, still think I've made the right choice 
They've fixed the door rattle finally.
