So - and I doubt it - IF the magazines have been using 91 instead of 93 - the F90 is going to run mid 10's at 132+ MPH lol.
I think RON 95 / AKI 91 gas is acceptable at least on the F10 M5, according to the S63B44 technical training document. I haven't seen any evidence that this would change in the T4 revision of the engine.
