What is the correct petrol to use in a BMW 330i?

Asked on 5 December 2014 by DK1

Answered by Honest John

The best petrol to use in any modern petrol engined car is Shell V-Power Nitro+ 99 Ron. It's what new cars are optimised on for their ECDC testing, so anything inferior results in worse performance, poorer fuel economy and more CO2 emissions.
