I've got suggestions from people saying not to put e87 in my 86 325e. I've been putting at least e89 gas in. Also the gear oil. the bentley manual does no help and almost says throw any gear oil in there. what are you guys putting in your cars?

I use 93oct due to my markD chip. Motul brake fuid. Motul tranny & diff fluid. Valvoline 10w40 standard engine oil. I will switch to valvoline full synthetic on my stroker but there is no reason on my stock 200k bottom end at this point.

if your talking about octane then its useless to run 89, might as well run 87. countless people have ran their e30s on 87 without trouble. you really only need to run 91 or 93 when you have a chip or other mods that call for higher octane.

100 octane, Castrol 20/50 non-synthetic, Ate Super blue brake fluid, coolant is nothing special because it doesnt last long for some reason.

Unless you have a chip, anything but 87 octane is a waste of money (in the octane respects at least). Your car doesn't have knock sensor's and can't adjust for the different pings/ knocks. So, it will not change the timing to reflect a higher octane that is prone to less knocking.. And your just paying more at the pump for no really good reasonLast edited by Huff; 05-16-2011, 11:18 AM.
