BMW SUV owners from Garden Grove to Los Angeles may wonder if their vehicle requires premium gasoline. Long Beach BMW has a collection of BMW SUVs with special fuel requirements. Premium gas has a higher octane rating than regular gas, which can benefit performance in some engines. Here's what you need to know about fueling up your BMW SUV for optimal performance and engine health.
Most BMW SUVs Run on Premium Gas
Most of the new BMW SUVs for sale in Long Beach require premium gas. Venture to the Getty Center and LA art galleries in a BMW SUV running on premium gas.
BMW X1: Regular Gas Is Fine
The compact BMW X1 crossover is designed to run on regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87. The BMW TwinPower Turbo engine is engineered to operate efficiently using regular unleaded fuel.
BMW X3: Premium Gas Required
You can buy a new BMW X3 in Long Beach and take home an adventure SUV that delivers the best performance with premium unleaded gasoline that has an octane rating of 91 or higher. The X3's BMW TwinPower Turbo engine requires premium fuel to run properly and deliver optimal power, efficiency, and emissions. Using regular gas in your X3 could lead to reduced performance and potential engine knocking.
BMW X5 and X7: Premium Gas Required
BMW's larger SUVs – the X5 and three-row X7 – are also designed specifically for premium gas. Both the X5 and X7 feature powerful BMW TwinPower Turbo engines that require 91 octane or higher premium unleaded fuel. Filling up with regular grade can diminish performance in these high-output turbo engines. Plan your next road trip with the new BMW X5.
