Houston-area BMW drivers looking for long-term performance are often wondering what fuel is best for their luxury vehicle. Many of our BMW models work best with premium fuel, and we are here to break down which specific vehicles require premium gas. Whether you drive a compact luxury sedan or a three-row family SUV, we can help you keep your performance at its best for the long term.
Many BMW Models Require Premium Fuel for Optimal Performance
Across our lineup, most BMW models require premium fuel for ideal performance. This is due to most BMW models using high-output turbocharged engines. Premium gas with 91 octane or higher is recommended to help maximize horsepower and torque, plus support long-term engine health. Using premium gas for your BMW also helps improve efficiency over time, keeps your performance smooth, and prevents issues with your engine systems. The following BMW models require premium gasoline:
- BMW 2 Series
- BMW 3 Series
- BMW 4 Series
- BMW 5 Series
- BMW 7 Series
- BMW 8 Series
- BMW X3
- BMW X4
- BMW X5
- BMW X6
- BMW X7
- BMW XM
- BMW Z4
BMW X1 and X2 compact SUVs do not strictly require premium gasoline, but BMW does recommend premium fuel across the lineup. X1 and X2 models can run on regular gasoline, but for long-term optimal performance, it is best practice to use premium gas no matter the BMW model you drive.
