With that said, I doubt knock sensors are going off in a car because it’s not filled with impossible octane gas, that would be a ludicrous expectation on BMW’s end, especially in reviewing the owner’s manual in which it recommended 91 or higher for maximum performance.
Most gas stations here in The Netherlands, give you 2 options;
Standard E5 95 Octane gas
or
Supreme E10 98 Octane gas


If you let you car Chiptune, they also advise to fill up with E10/98 Octane for best engine results and HP/NM gain.
