    Is this more than the 94-page PDF that covers the motor and says to use the regular repair manual for the rest of the vehicle?

    Thumbs up

    Honestly, cannot recall as been years since I looked at it. I have the ECE microfiche, I have the ECE blue books full of schematics, and other oddities. Oh, I have that Ljet paper manual too.

    Turbos have a few different specs for parts and fueling, aside from that follow standard M30/E23 stuff.
    I make E23 parts.

    Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.

    I sent and then resent you a PM because I haven’t had my coffee and forgot to include my email…

    A side question. I’ve been trying to find out what octane or ROZ the stock 745i uses but have had no luck. Can anyone tell me what I should be using? I’m assuming premium or 90+ octane.

    Manual states 98RM/88MM with 3% methanol permissible. Things have changed since that was written. We have moved to ethanol and use AKI in the US and Canada which is the average of the Research Octane and Motor Octane numbers. This AKI is the number shown on the pump.

    This link has conversion tables. Seems you should run premium, whatever that is in your area. Octane rating conversions - PencilGeek's BMW Blog

    Thanks 8991XJ! Makes sense it’s a 91 or higher.

    Thank you Hit Man - no rush at all
