2 Answers
The BMW 1 Series uses 95-octane gasoline. Below is a related introduction to the BMW 1 Series: Configuration: High-value appearance equipped with the new M Sport package: unique M logo on the front fenders, new M package side skirts, a classic M three-piece aerodynamic front and rear bumper, and 17/18-inch classic five-spoke M alloy wheels. Interior: The M Sport multifunction steering wheel made of Walknappa leather and stitching provides a dynamic steering experience; the rear seat cushions and backrests are thickened by 20mm, with softer materials extending all the way to the door frame for comfortable support. Additionally, features include keyless entry, an electronic parking system, door storage compartments, and more.
I've been driving a BMW 1 Series for several years and usually fill it with 95-octane unleaded gasoline, which is the standard recommendation. BMW's engines are quite sophisticated with high compression ratio designs, and 95-octane fuel helps prevent knocking, making the engine run smoother with stable power output. Once I tried using 92-octane, and the car shook a bit during acceleration while fuel consumption increased, so I quickly switched back. New drivers shouldn't try to save money by using lower-grade fuel—stick to 95-octane or follow the manual's recommendation for 98-octane to be safer. Avoid small-brand gas stations to ensure fresh and clean fuel, and don't wait until the tank is nearly empty to refuel. Also, pay attention to environmental temperature changes; in cold weather, the engine requires higher-quality fuel. Overall, using 95-octane fuel is cost-effective and worry-free.
