Have a 2006 hyundai tiburon drivers side mirror?

All the BMWs with OBD-II (US versions 1996 and later) have an automatic OCTANE KNOCK SENSOR which advances or retards the ignition timing in 2 degree increments until the optimum combustion and power are achieved. This timing adjustment is continuously on-going through all engine speeds and loading conditions to achieve maximum power. Yes, you can use regular or mid-grade gasoline, but with a noticeable loss of power because of the retarded spark calculated by the KNOCK SENSOR.

Ask a good auto repair man. He might have more recommendations on whether you can also use super or 90 grade fuel. I have a Lincoln towncar 98 and I use the middle one instead of premium.

Hello: I am planing to buy a 2002 hyundai elantra,is it reliable if I want to keep it for 3 years?

There are too many different BMW's to know for sure. Easy way to tell...check your owners manual. It will tell you what octane rating to use.
Unless the car is a hig performance sports car, such as a Corvette, or a Dodge Viper, you normally do not need high octane fuel. The regular will work just fine.

Your manual will tell you. I know the current cars require it but don't know if the requirement extends that far back. You can also access the information at bmwusa.com. You'll need to input the year and model.

Where can i install foglights on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe?

Philip S is correct. I drive a 97 z3 2.8L and if you use regular unleaded fuel it will slowly decrease the performance of the vehicle (lags in power as you near the red line). It CAN be used, but certainly using premium is much better
