    Lightbulb New bmw owner

    So i just purchased a 328i 2013 sdn from the dealer. Love it. Came with the tech pack, heads on display. Its a v4 with twin t. But idk am i missing out on having a v6? Either way i will keep my car.

    Also wondering what kind of gas would do my car good. Dealer told me mid grade but i want to put premium for the extra boost. Its a 2.0 v4 with twin t.

    Ummm yea and one last question i had was would i b able to add like the m package to my car rn even tho its already made. I mean its a used car and all but im just wondering.

    Sorry if i come across as noob but im curious and its my first finaced car so you im just wondering.

    It's a V4 you say? But you are worrying you might have preferred the V6 BMW?

    Nah, I bet he'd prefer the inline 5 cylinder engine. Real screamer, I hear.

    Your manual will tell you what grade of gas to use. Best to stick to what the manufacturer recommends as your car will be programmed for that grade and won't perform optimally with a different grade.
    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    FWIW on modern engines, you can use any grade of gas lower than the recomended octane. 87 can only run 87, 89 can run 89 or 87, 91 can run any of the three. You will get maximum performance by using the higher octane, but for long roadtrips avoiding high RPMs, lower octane will give better mpg.

    Learn how to spell and write a decent sentence. It hurt my head just to try to comprehend the bunch of letters you typed.
