Why not?

Fantastic performance, ridiculous amounts of torque, all while retuning great MPG figures, I don't see the negative.

Actually, I think BMW only allows 5% biodiesel in its cars or it voids the warranty if its higher. The engine's are VERY complicated...you have to be able to vouch for the fuel that goes into it.
