My 135i has a forth rating for 93+.

Every time you fill up, the engine determines the octane by advancing the ignition until knock occurs. Low=87 Medium=89 High=91+

Or, you know, fix it properly.

Why did you change the O2 sensor for a failed cat code? It will keep coming back until you replace the cat.

On BMW. No, there is no octane sensor.

We can see the current octane being used, and how many tanks of each octane level since new.

Ha ha! Ya. Although I use the features often. Remote lock/unlock, vehicle location, but the feature I use most is being able to send GPS locations to the sat nav. Going on a road trip, can send all the locations from the app to the car ahead of time, then just click on them as I need them. One...

There is good debt, and bad debt. If it is debt that is servicing an appreciating asset like a house or investments, that is good debt. As long as the carrying charges are less than the increase in value of the asset. Right now, paying down good debt does not make sense as carrying charges are...

OK in moderation, but heavily salted foods are not healthy for cats. But, he’s 28, he’s earned to eat whatever he wants. :love:

It’s a very long story, but was able to get BMW to pay for it.

Luckily BMW offers an updated COMBOX with an LTE cellphone instead of the 3G one.

Did an LTE retrofit on my car. Should be good for a while.

BMW announced they have stopped ICE R&D quite a while ago. The current B series engines are the last.

Wishing you Christmas cheer! You are never alone.

Having duck breast with a cranberry sauce tonight. Nice bottle of Saint-Émilion to go with.

Welcome to Ontario. No suspension until 50 km/hr over. Do 50 over however and you will have the book thrown at you. (Licence suspension, vehicle impound and minimum $10,000 fine) Have been clocked at 140 km/hr several times by police in that stretch and the police don’t care. It’s only 30 over.

Uh, that speeding fine info is actually in a 110 km/hr zone. I drive by it often. With my cruise set to 140 km/hr. If I get ticketed, fine. That’s my choice.

Nope, that is actually how it works. Drive your speed you are comfortable at, but don’t let your entitledness dictate what speed I should be doing. If I can safely cruise at 240 km/hr on the German autobahns all day, everyday, I should be able to cruise at 80 mph in the US. If you think slower...

Following that reasoning, just stay home and don’t drive, slowest speed available! Perfectly safe!
