Hello i am new member from Thailand
i have questions about grade diesel fuel. i have the 5 series touring f11 is import from UK . i know that diesel fuel in Europe is grade Euro5 but in thailand premium grade diesel of Shell just support Euro4 only. So i do not know that f11 service just diesel euro4 the engine is broken or not

So BMW Thailand is Authorized Dealer only. but option of 5 series is less than grey market and price is more expensive than grey market

Thank you for any answer

Euro 4 and Euro 5 are emissions standards - what levels of CO2 and other gases the engine is allowed to emit. It doesn't affect the grade of diesel fuel.

If they sell BMW diesel engineered in your Country that means you can use the available brands. Using V-power or other addicted formulas provide better perfomances and cleaner injectors.

Yes, but look at the BMW forums all over... not worth the extra cost.... go for plain Diesel !
