I just wonder, is it ok that I put Shell V-power (100 octane) in my 4.8 since I bought it? I think it's ok, because I asked in BMW service here in Geneva, they told that it is all right. Also he told me that its not good to go down with gasoline which has lower octane.

DinanM3, you seem to be confusing RON with pump octane. The poster who asked the question is in Geneva. 100 RON in Geneva is very close in anti-knock properties to 93 pump octane in North America. Your 100 octane fuel in a road vehicle doesn't make a lot of sense, as the engine was not designed for it.
