Fueling Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles blend high-end design, careful construction, and performance-oriented details that elevate daily driving. More than anyone else, BMW drivers know very well how much of an investment it is to own and care for a premium BMW vehicle.

In addition to routine maintenance services and parts upgrades, it's also important to be conscientious about choosing the right type of fuel. After all, not all luxury vehicles require premium gas, but there are benefits to reaching for the premium fuel type the next time you're at the pump. 

Regular vs. Premium Gas

Some luxury models can operate without interruption on regular fuel. Others may react adversely to regular gas, which causes engine knock and could lead to long-term damage. Most modern models prevent engine knocking even if the wrong fuel is loaded, but it's best to know ahead of time before you re-fuel. 

Premium gas has a higher amount of octane than regular gas: 91-94 versus 87. Because of this higher octane rating, premium fuel is more suitable for high-compression engines, which you'll find in many luxury models. This high-end type of fuel can better handle the compression from high-performing engines. The result is more balanced, smooth, and efficient engine performance on the road.

Your owner's manual is a great source for discovering the recommended fuel type for your BMW X7, but our experienced BMW technicians at Fields BMW of Daytona are also available to answer your questions and help you make an informed decision.
