Do I need to use premium gas for my BMW 1 Series?

I recently bought a BMW 1 Series and I'm wondering if I need to use premium gas instead of regular gas. Will using regular gas affect my car's performance or damage the engine in any way?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use premium gas for your BMW 1 Series. Premium gas has a higher octane rating which is necessary for the high-performance engine in your car. Using regular gas can lead to engine knocking and decrease in performance.
