The real issue with biodiesel is that the spec says how much it bio (5, 10, 20%, etc) but after that, there isn't much in the way of specifications. Different bio diesel blends can have very different characteristics, it is very open.
Yes, it can burn fine. Or it can be a disaster. If you have a trusted source, and haven't had any problems, then you are not likely to have future problems with fuel from the same supplier, as long as they get it from the same source. But the reason BMW says not to use it is because they, you, and the supplier of it, all know very little about what is actually contains, most of the time.

Yes, sorry I meant fuel filters. Not sure why oil got stuck in my brain. I do agree with quality, but any legit/licensed manufacturer would provide quality fuel. Not sure about national/local but here in California if a fuel damages an engine it's *intended* for, that producer is liable for the damages. Which is why I would stick with known producers like the Propel brand mentioned on another thread.
