All our service stations over here have diesel but only about half show the plus symbol - so that can't be it.

If so, is that comparable to the Top Tier rating?

Not sure...wouldn't top tier be for gas companies as a whole (Shell, Chevron, etc) rather than specific gas stations (Shell # 3, Chevron #7, etc)? You see three Shells together but only one of them has the "plus" sign. It could be based off of user ratings or some other survey system that BMW goes off of in regards to gas quality .

When I use the Gas Buddy app, it does not designate all Shell stations near me as Top Tier. I have seen other examples of that on the open road but cannot much detail at the moment.
