2008 135i Coupe  [0.00]
I triggered a system shutdown when I spun off at Phakisa - restored itself after being shutdown and restarted. I have an OBD dongle that I use to check for error codes, nothing logged. Obviously the system shuts down if it gets abnormal readings from the various accellerometers, yaw sensors, ABS sensors, etc, which generally happens when you're flailing around at 190... (not to mention the "nearly-shat-your-pants sensor in the driver's seat).
The dodgey fuel scenario also makes sense - is going to mess with air-fuel ratios and confuse the ECU as well.

I use Engen 95 pretty religiously - get about 11.5l/100 and she pulls like a train.
