Yeah had to pay over a grand for convertible roof parts, paint, cabin sensors, little shit like that. Diagnostics ran me $200, sensors themselves ran me $400, roof parts $200, paint $200, labor $200 at BMW Mountain View.

But point taken regarding octane rating. The guy at the dealership told me it was chill for a little bit but not to make it a habit.


Out of curiosity, is there a limit for octane ratings for the S65 when filling it with 100+ race gas?
Lol at the dealership guy, what a fool. They hardly ever know what they're talking about anyways!

I think it would do you some good to find a nice independent workshop to handle your service needs. Parts are parts and there's hardly a discount to be found (in most cases), but independent shop labor and expertise will in most cases be better than the dealership. I would strongly suggest you take some time to do you research so you don't get wrecked again and put in tanks of 87 octane
