Bio diesel in my 60 plate X3

[Kev the Rev]

With all the discussion at present re a downer on Diesel emissions, since the diesel engine is designed to run on natural oil what is to stop me using a bio diesel in my current engine? Also will BMW be aiding us by introducing any engine modifications so we can continue to run efficiently and in a cleaner manner?

Probably best to avoid Bio-Fuel at the moment as it has a history of causing issues with engine damage due to excessively high Ethanol content (5% in the UK but 10% in Europe)

They have used it in motorsport for some time now but those engines are designed for it whereas currently I would say the engines weren't designed for running Bio primarily.
