The recommended octane rating for a BMW M1 is 91 or higher according to the owner's manual. Using a lower octane fuel can potentially lead to engine knocking and decreased performance.

I've been using 93 octane for my BMW M1 and haven't had any issues. It may be more expensive, but it's worth it for the added performance and protection for the engine.

If you're on a budget, you can use 87 octane in a pinch, but try to stick with 91 or higher for regular use to keep your BMW M1 running at its best.
