E10 petrol!

I must live on the dark side of the moon, totally missed this, did anyone else miss it.

The online check does say
BMW

All petrol engine BMW models are cleared for the use of E10 petrol regardless of their year of manufacture but the minimum octane required should be observed according to the owner's manual.
I like to think I'm an optimist.

I always drain the carb on my Triumph if I'm not going to be riding it for a while so that the ethanol doesn't degrade the fuel lines and form deposits in the jets. Been doing this since E5 came in, as well as having the valve guides changed.
