Option code 240
Hi all,
Does anyone know what modifications option 240 specifies? This is the option described as "for countries with inferior fuel". I have search the archive and there is virtually no insight into this. Does this mean that the engine is detuned? Does it mean that it runs just as well on octane 87 as 93 and has output as good any any? There have been suggestions that these are grey market cars imported to the States from elsewhere, but there appear to be a lot of them out there. Finally, should this be regarded as a great benefit, or a liability, or neither?

Option 240 is only a setting on the Motronics unit.

If I have the 240 option, what happens if I use 102 Octane fuel (which is readily available here in Germany)? Will I get the benefit or is there a maximum that the Motronics can handle?

Isn't California a "country with inferior fuel"?

I think this also has something to do with how they measure the octane rating here in the US. 93 octane fuel in the US is not equivalent to 93 octane in Europe.
