Observe the following when refueling
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler
nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead
to
>Premature pump shutoff
> Reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time. Do not overfill the fuel tank; otherwise,
fuel spills can cause damage to the envi-
ronment and the vehicle. <
When handling fuels, follow the safety
instructions provided at filling stations;
otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury or
property damage. <
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 16.1 US gal/61 liters, including the
reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
Fuel specifications
Gasoline
For optimum fuel consumption, the gasoline
should be sulfur-free or as low in sulfur as pos-
sible.
Never use fuels labeled at the fuel pump as
metal-containing.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline
with metal-containing additives such as
manganese or iron; doing so can cause perma-
nent damage to the catalytic converter or other
components. <
Use fuels with a maximum ethanol content of
10 Ξ, i.e. E10.
The ethanol should meet the following quality
standards:
US: ASTM 4806-xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511-xx
xx: comply with the currently valid standard. Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con-
taining 85 Ξ ethanol, nor with FlexFuel.
Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system
will be damaged. <
The engine has a knock control function. It is
therefore possible to use different fuel grades.
Recommended fuel grade
BMW recommends AKI 91.
