Why can't we use more than 5% biodiesel in the X5s? The reason I ask is because I live in hippietown Seattle and there are biodiesel stations around.

Best reason? Because it will result in no warranty coverage if you have engine problems.

Other reasons: Biodiesel allows higher wear of parts within the fuel injection system.

do you mean that _some_ types of fuel hoses deteriorate fairly quickly when used for biodiesel?
