This is crazy, maybe someone can help. If I try to run 93-octane gas in my car, it will stall, start missing, and fall flat on it's face. I can restart it without any problems and drive for an undetermined amount of time before it will happen again. If I put octane booster in the car when I refuel (with 93-octane), I don't have any problems. Does anyone have any ideas?

The M3 has a set of black and white connectors under the glovebox at the passenger side of the car (lhd). These plugs depentant on the octane rating of fuel can be altered. Drop us an E-MAIL and i will find the information from my factory manual if not already solved.
Thanks in advance........
