P1000 ///Member Feb 21, 2012 #3 Doesn't really matter. Both will perform equally poorly, and the valve seats are definitely compatible with unleaded. Bring back the lead!

I've heard that pretty much all BMW's after 1988 should handle unleaded with no issues. Someone who knows more can maybe confirm.
