I am a new owner of a 05 E55. What is the minimum octane should I put in my car? Previously had a S4 and I always was a fan of Shell V power. I tried Sunoco, Exxon, Mobil etc... but nothing was like Shell. There was a big noticible difference after using Shell. Any other suggestions?

Is it 168 or 178MM like Renntech and ASP? Stock is 165 right? And how much would just the pulley be? Feel free to PM me the details.

As long as you stick to top-tier brands, there is little/no difference in the base stock, only the additive package.

The lower-tier brands tend to run closer to government minimums with regard to their detergents and additives.

Depending on your market, the particular oxygenate utilized can affect power output a bit. Basically, the worse the local pollution, the poorer the gas (for performance)

Enjoy the fine automobile.

For now I am keeping my stock rims and just adding a trunk lip and front grille. Hopefully next yr I should do some serious mods. Any suggestions on rims for a black 05 E55?

I heard Shell w/V-Power and Chevron w/Techron have the best additives. Here is a list of the top tier gas brands:
