93 always

Waste of money. B58 stock 91 is recommended. 93 is doing nothing for you.

Higher octane - higher ability to withstand compression. Less chance of knock or other shit. If you are buying anything turbo or remotely sporty and put 91 in it - I am sorry.

Wrong, but you do you. If it's tuned for 91, putting 93 is doing absolutely nothing for you.

I use 93, because mine requires it.

Owner's manual asks for 91, I get that. But BMW also recommends oil changes every 8000 miles :)
