BP and Mobil, use either Shell or Caltex Fuel. Either way you going to get caltex or shell.

I never use to put anything but Optimax or Vortex (98) in my r33, till i found out they basically come from places. :P

What month is the HPI mag?

Have a read of the new HPI,Donnon picks up 22rwkw in a GTR tuned with Ethanol 98,also 10c a litre cheaper.More power,less cost.......no brainer.

Which mag was that one?

I just went and bought HPI (there was a 1 + 2 pack) so i grabbed it, it was the only one there.

Is it in there, the article? Which one of the three mags? the one with SIL80 on the cover?

I've spoken to someone who's been working at the BP refinery (but not for BP) and although he wasn't able to make any comments he did say that there's something going down. But he didn't think it would take ages to fix, maybe 1 to 2 weeks?

"They taste like burning!"

HPI issue 60 page 69.The fuel is known as E10 and you get it at United.The one in Mornington has had it for 3 months.I paid $1.15 for it last week.I'm going to get Ice to do a back to back dyno tune with this stuff,hopefully this week.

wierd I just filled up with 60 litres of BP ultimate from the BP next to my house.

Maybe its only state specific?

It has been established on multiple occasions that it affects WA only. Im pretty sure the Eastern States can get Premium from other suppliers.

larger population @ eastern State...and cars too...so BP wuld desert smaller parts....W.A too far nyways..are there refinary here?

and so here I am stuck with Octane Boost + super unleaded(Shell ones).....

don't feel as good as pure bp ultimate...maybe phsycological..but seem slower.. =(....BP ran out of their Super as well...I gotta go Shell..

This sucks. :P I have enough fuel for tomorrow, then I will be off for 2 days & will drive either nowhere or in my pos. Hopefully there will be some by the weekend as some have said, but with others saying the end of this month, so many cars are going to need a retune. :(

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
