Actually, 91 octane is HIGHLY recommended by BMW, but they say you can use 89 with no effect on engine life (but you might hear knocking sounds when in warmer weather).

I could probably get away with using 89 where I live since the weather is not going to be getting any warmer than the 50's, but I'm going to stick with 91 just cuz the extra anti-knock give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
