[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 278028, member: 15"] Not really la dude. It all depends on your compression ratio. If you run a 10.8:1 or higher compression ratio then perhaps 97 Octane will make a difference. I think most BMWs have compression ratio from 10.2:1 to 10.5:1, except the ///M cars. The old e36 M3 has a compression ratio of 10.8:1 and the E46 M3 is 11.0:1. These cars will probably benefit from the higher octane fuel. Just like the new Civic Type-R, it will only produce the hp quoted if RON 99 fuel is used, otherwise with RON 97, lesser hp than quoted figures. I have tried 92 Octane before, and honestly I CAN'T feel any difference but since its only 4 cents/liter, it doesn't matter much to me.:burnout: Cheers [/QUOTE]
