What type of gasoline should be used for the BMW 218i?
1 Answers
BMW 218i requires 95 octane or higher gasoline. Introduction to 95 octane gasoline: The numbers 92# and 95# in gasoline grades represent the octane rating. The higher the octane rating, the better the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. Generally, better cars have higher engine compression ratios, and higher compression ratios require gasoline with better anti-knock properties. Otherwise, a rapid rise in engine temperature may lead to knocking and other issues. Introduction to the BMW 218i: In terms of powertrain, the BMW 2 Series shares most of its engines with the 1 Series, including the new 1.6-liter single-turbo twin-scroll turbocharged engine, which comes in two power output versions. The low-boost version delivers a maximum power of 136 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm, while the high-boost version offers a maximum power output of 170 horsepower and an increased maximum torque of 250 Nm.
