Yeah, it's a mile long and hard to read, it must be bullshit. But I know it can be hard to read with your head in the sand. Why don't you go talk to a BMW mechanic and ask him the difference between the valves and injectors of owners who use cheap and top tier fuel.
Also, not one automotive magazine has done anything other than recommend it. None have said it's a waste of money or oil conspiracy. Independent journalists have verified it as well. If you have evidence to the contrary, put up or shut up. In the mean time, why don't you do some light reading on logical fallacies: Argument from ignorance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've read it before, I just read it again, those are a lot of nice words and a strong lack of published independently verified results, (and quite honestly not as long and complex as you seem to think it is). That's all I'm asking for, published, peer reviewed results, it's fine that you trust it, I don't and I'll state as much.
Someone has spent a lot of money to make this union of 'higher quality' but the only evidence is stored on their website? Sorry, fishy as hell to me, call me ignorant if you must, I'm just a fool on the internet after all.
Last time I spoke with a BMW mechanic he was pointing towards BMW reliability issues coming mostly from the extended service intervals (15k miles after all) and weak seals that could be destroyed with a fingernail, if we meet again I'll be sure to ask his opinion on gas stations and I will humbly admit my mistake if he sees truth to it. I think we've taken up enough space in this thread.
Edit: If anything I think per your wiki article I fall in the third category of 'true or false' that there is insufficient evidence at this time to prove the point.
