How to Use Regular Fuel in a BMW 325


1. Fill the tank with high-test 91+ octane gasoline when it is almost empty. This will help the engine run well, and clean out any carbon buildup.
2. Run the vehicle to half a tank, then fill with 87-octane fuel. This will give you mid-grade fuel of 89. The BMW engine is rated for 91-octane fuel.
3. Run the car till it needs fuel again and fill with 89-octane. At the next fuel stop, repeat the process starting with high-test fuel. This cycle will allow you to run regular fuel in the BMW 325.

The new edition of Sentra steps forward in style, sophistication and refinement as well as presenting an improvement in fuel efficiency.

Another contributing factor is the reduction in weight of 150 pounds by the use of ultra-light materials.

Its dual zone climate control systems found, audio system with four speakers (Bose Premium with eight speakers optional), 4.3-inch display, USB for iPod, Bluetooth and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Another novelty of the 2013 Sentra is NissanConnect navigation system controllable from a 5.8-inch touch screen.
