I just noticed this sticker on my gas tank cover on my X5M60i.

Anyone got any explanations? Just curious.

    I worked for bmw for nearly a decade. Before these stickers tech support always recommended Shell, at least here in Canada. No ethanol, fewer additives, etc. We had so many more issue with cars running other brands, especially Petro-Canada in the winter.

      Yeah, but Shell premium is generally better than other fuels. It creates more horsepower, and is presumably a cleaner fuel. HotRod Magazine does an independent test on an engine dino every few years and Shell Vpower premium always wins out.

    its like a michelan starred restaraunt. It used to mean something, but now cities can pay to be listed and then michelin will just happen to find a restaurant in said city that fits the bill. See st pete/tampa recently. none of those places belong anywhere near the list, but the marketing teams paid a lot.

    I used to think it was a legit barometer to go off of until i read an article recently that said how st pete/tampas tourism departments paid to be listed. it makes so much sense now

    Shell uses much more detergents than other brands, very essential for vehicle health.
