[QUOTE="leforte, post: 235597, member: 1943"] the petrol we get from our pumps are of a higher quality blend with less sulfur and acidic content, so its no problem for us here. in other countries, notably the US, the petrol there is soooo bad that BMW doesnt even release any m52 with nicasil blocks there, they have been using cast iron blocks from the start as a precautionary step to prevent a big hole from burning into their pockets just by replacing the engine with better liners. a good lesson they've learn from the m60 v8 engine with nicasil block previously used in the e34 and e32 there. nicasil were phased out soon after and replaced with alusil engines at the later stage. i [/QUOTE]
