That entire octane requirement scenario is odd. With todays technology there should be a feature where you can change the fuel mapping thru the digital dash display.

Modern cars (and I think even BMW motorcycles) have knock sensors and will reduce timing advance and/or richen the fuel mixture to adapt to lower octane fuel. So while 89 octane may be required to get the stated performance, it'll run safely on 87 at slightly reduced performance. The ECU has a memory so if you swtich back to 89 it wont' immediately give full power back.

OH, yea of little patience. I'm just about to head for the dealership. I will take the mandatory pics and post - no matter what time I get home. My son and I are going out for pizza & refreshments. So - IT MIGHT BE PRETTY LATE, SIGARMS. You better relax, take a nap, take a Valium and be prepared. Ha, ha, ha

Yeah, we need pics bad. I didn't feel this much suspense when I bought my own truck! I half suspected you made a mistake and ordered one of the new 2020 models that aren't going to be at dealers until late 2019.
