I wasn't implying you used generic parts when servicing your car. I was using this as an analogy. That said, it's entirely your choice what type of fuel you fill up with. You may even choose to use an ethanol blend, as it is less expensive and may provide you with satisfaction too. I was simply posting a reply and providing my opinion for the collective knowledge base.
As is clear to see, from Q's post, the recommendation from the manufacturer is to use a 'better' quality fuel.
Yes - I think it would be fair to say I have an 'emotional attachment' to all my vehicles, as I've worked hard to pay for them and unlike some other people out there, I treat them with the respect they deserve, as opposed to simply considering them as a mode of transport. If the latter were true, then I somehow doubt I would have bought a BMW (and other quality vehicles)... but since I have, I will continue to follow the recommended quality fuel, oil and filters in an effort to achieve a relatively trouble-free period of ownership and have peace of mind.
