That is even more confusing for me as I have noticed having a lesser problem when I have a bottle of red line injector cleaner in my tank with 91 and I believe that would be just the opposite octane wise ???

Will,give it a go next fill up though and see what happens, after reading the above E46 link I was convinced it was going to be my fuel filter as I had come to think I experienced more during lower gastank levels until,I actually compiled the log for the year and noticed having just as many faults when tank was full....if I wasn't so damn stubborn I would just accept it as a N62 "feature"....and
Live with it....LOL
