Anybody know if any of the Z's will work or struggle with E10 fuel?

I looked into this a bit when I went over to France last year. From what I read, E10 should be fine on E89's. It is pretty standard over there so I think it is just something we are not used to so get a bit cautious. As I only filled up twice I went with premium for exactly that reason, even though everything said it would be fine with E10 :rofl:

Does this help?

But BMW's stance is that all their cars since 1986 can use it - after all we currently get E5.

However, the warning was that you'd get less MPG the more ethanol you put in (works out at about 1% decrease in MPG per 1% of ethanol)

The fair weather drivers might not like it,,,
“There have also been reports that E10 is a less stable fuel and that this can make it more difficult to start a vehicle that has not been driven for an extended period.”
