Is this what you are looking for?
BMW diesel engines require fuels in compliance with EN 590 with a minimum cetane number of 51. The use of heating fuels, marine fuels or biodiesel fuels is prohibited. *The use of larger parts of fuels such as "biodiesel" or "rapeseed methyl ester" will result in leaks that can cause considerable subsequent damage. Exception: M47, M51, M57 with SA201 ”RME Version”.
