[QUOTE="seancorr, post: 721616, member: 42054"] I heard similar cases whereby the BMWs are being imported by grey importers causing issues and these cars ended up in my dealer SC and that's when I knew about the problem. I was told those engines can only accept RON98 as a minimum and we do not have it here so for the owners who had fallen into the foreign spec cars ending up paying more for service as they can only rely on RON97 and have to change the engine oil a lot more frequently. I forgot if they had to rebuild the engine but I think that isn't far off either. Those owners who bought the imported ones must have been filling it up with RON95 and in turn giving them massive headaches so...you have been warned! [/QUOTE]
