Is the BMW Z4 E85 a good car?

Performance and Acceleration. The 3.0i Z4 offers good performance for its age and price range. It will do 0-60mph in a shade under 6 seconds and hit the limiter at 155mph (so it’s basically as fast as an M5, wink wink), though I imagine the wind noise may be a little unbearable at this speed.

What type of gas does a BMW Z4 take?

No matter your model, BMW recommends using only premium-unleaded fuel. That’s not to say your BMW won’t run on lower-grade fuel, but premium-unleaded fuel will maintain its quality in the long run, letting you drive at peak performance consistently.

Can I put E85 in my BMW?

Can I put 89 gas in my BMW?

You can run with 89 with no issues, but the ECU will retard the spark timing to avoid detonation. You’ll lose some power and some fuel economy. If you want to approach the rated HP/torque/MPG, run with higher octane.

If you usually fill your tank up with 87-octane gasoline and you accidentally put in a higher octane blend (say, 91, 92, or 93), don’t worry. You may feel a difference in the way the vehicle runs and may notice an improvement in gas mileage, but that’s about all that will happen.
