Pinking under load on stock 318ci

Yep the recommended 5 degrees or whatever is no use at all with today's fuels, you need at least 15 probably more. Finding what timing any car needs is by trial and error but you will always need to limit the total to get enough initial. Takes a few hours, but well worth the effort.
