No damage in the short term. They have a built in safety factor that adjusts ignition timing. They still drive BMWs in countries with really shitty gas, and they run fine..

You probably have go through a tank or two until you see the negative effects of the 87. To see the negative affects from a cold start just push on the gas lightly and you will notice hesitation in changing gears and sluggishness especially on the lower gears. Less effect when the car is going faster and changing gears at a faster speed. But the effect is there.

In France the maximum octane index you can find is 88, yet they all drive without problems. there is a auto-correction in the engine calculator.

Valves don’t ping. Spark knock (detonation) is an erratic form of combustion; that occurs when multiple flame fronts occur simultaneously inside a combustion chamber. Detonation occurs, because fuel is subjected to either too much pressure, too much heat or both.

So, instead of a single flame front growing outward smoothly; like an expanding balloon from the point of ignition; multiple flame fronts are generated spontaneously throughout the combustion chamber; as the fuel automatically ignites from heat and pressure. Finally, the multiple flame fronts collide, creating shock waves that; produce a sharp metallic pinging or knocking noise.

Regular gas once in a while is not going to hurt the engine.

In 🇱🇧 we have very low octane which is the only available option since 2021. Cars do run ok with some occasional pinging. We're living with it since it's the only choice!

Champ, great content. Please shoot big overall review of your M5 throughout the years of maintenance and stuff.

it’s not that serious legally all cars are required to be able to run on 87

Good video! When I bough M5 it had 91 (RON) in the tank, which caused it to idle rough. I keep some octane boost in the boot just in case I get caught out at a station with only regular available

I made sure I filled up here in North Carolina before It was really bad but I rarely drive my car so no issues here with my m5

Short term use won't cause any damage and it won't blow up either if you were to floor it lol, at most you will lose power with the lower octane gas. No need to worry man 😀

I haven’t gotten an answer for this but anyone is it possible to put 87 in a 91 octane car but use octane booster everytime instead of getting 91 I just get 87 and put a booster

Hello Alex, what size spacers do you run on the car?
