all of <strong>the</strong> applicable safety precautions<br />
and regulations pertaining to fuels.<br />

Open <strong>the</strong> filler cap carefully to<br />
prevent fuel from spraying out.<br />
Fuel spray may cause injury.<br />
Do not top off. Topping off may cause<br />
fuel spillage.<<br />
Keep <strong>the</strong> filler cap in <strong>the</strong> bracket attached<br />
to <strong>the</strong> fuel filler door.<br />
When refueling, insert <strong>the</strong> filler nozzle<br />
completely into <strong>the</strong> filler pipe. Pulling<br />
<strong>the</strong> nozzle out of <strong>the</strong> pipe during refueling<br />
> results in premature pump shutoff<br />
> and will reduce <strong>the</strong> effect of <strong>the</strong><br />
recovery vapor system on <strong>the</strong> pump.<br />
Close <strong>the</strong> fuel cap carefully after<br />
refueling. A loose or missing cap<br />
will activate <strong>the</strong> "Check Engine“ lamp.<<br />
Use unleaded gasoline only.<br />
Minimum octane requirement: 91 AKI.<br />
BMW engines are equipped with knock<br />
sensors and will adapt automatically<br />
to different octane ratings, provided<br />
that <strong>the</strong> minimum octane requirement<br />
(87 AKI) is met.<br />
Fuels with higher octane ratings will<br />
provide enhanced per<strong>for</strong>mance and<br />
lower fuel consumption, while <strong>the</strong> use<br />
of fuels with lower octane ratings will<br />
have <strong>the</strong> opposite effect.<br />
Do not use leaded fuels. The use<br />
of leaded fuels will cause permanent<br />
damage to <strong>the</strong> system's oxygen<br />
sensor and <strong>the</strong> catalytic convertor.<<br />
