Please note that this response does not necessarily indicate BMW Australia's official viewpoint at the moment, but it did at the time it happened. I would suggest that you make your own enquiries and I would welcome BMW Australia's responses in here. (The names have been changed to protect the innocent). Quote: Robert - The BMW rep is obviously better informed than the VW rep, but in the end. Regardless of the amount of testing that has occurred, there is not enough. Fancy that, not enough testing. Forum Member -----Original Message----- From: BMW Australia Sent: 03 February, 2006 14.34 To: Forum Member Subject: BMW & Bio Diesel Thanks Forum Member, I have passed your information onto BMW AG for their comment on the whole Bio Diesel area. As soon as I have a response, I will come back to you. Regards, BMW Australia Engineering and Technical Manager -----Original Message----- From: Forum Member Sent: Friday, 3 February 2006 1:43 PM To: BMW Australia Subject: RE: BMW & Bio Diesel Dear BMW Australia, Thank you for your time today. As requested, I have attached the Australian Standard for Biodiesel, and I submit that bona-fide manufacturers stringently adhere to this standard. I would like to expand on this by stating , no company involved in petro-fuel refining is as stringent in their application of standards as is the Biodiesel Industry. I appreciate that there are numerous "backyard & non-commercial" operations that do not perform due diligence in the testing of their product, but their product is NOT on the retail market. However, there is complying product on the market, and BMW drivers would like to utilize in their vehicles with the blessing of the manufacturer. As I mentioned US automaker, Chrysler, has expanded their OEM umbrella to include B20, and I have attached that article as well. I sincerely hope that BMW Australia can se the handwriting on the wall and have adopted a policy that demonstrates their commitment to Alternative Fuels, The Environment, and the Economy of Australia. I look forward to both receiving your reply and progressing the dialogue that will inevitably ensue prior to the revision of OEM policies. My Very Best Regards, Forum Member ================================================== ==================== Dear BMW Australia, Thank you for your reply. ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, of which BMW is a member, states; "biofuels are acceptable as long as they meet current fuel quality requirements stipulated under directive 98/70 and that the quality/purity of the biofuel is guaranteed. Otherwise car manufacturers will not meet their emissions requirements". Your statement below appears to conflict with this published position. Clearly, if an inferior fuel (either petrol based or organic) causes a problem with the fuel system of a BMW, then there is sufficient justification for excluding warranty protection, but if the purchaser of a BMW uses Biodiesel and does not damage the fuel system, would not the warranty be just a effective had they used petrodiesel? As bad petrodiesel can be purchased, would not the BMW warranty be as affected by bad diesel as it would a bad batch of biodiesel? If this is the case, isn't the owner of the vehicle responsible for acquiring a quality fuel that conforms to National Standards in order to protect their warranty? I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Forum Member -----Original Message----- From: BMW Australia Sent: 21 December, 2005 09.14 To: Forum Member Subject: BMW & Bio Diesel Dear Forum Member, The BMW Group Worldwide currently do not support the use of Bio Diesel fuels in any of our vehicles at all at this stage. It very well may be approved in the future, but currently there is insufficient test data and regulatory measures in place to assess it impact both on the vehicle and on the environment. Thank you for your enquiry.
