Uh-oh, you fueled RON 95 (= 85/86 MON or 90/91 AKI in the US) (the green colored 95 Shell "Super" pump) while the appropriate RON 100 was literary right next to it (the red colored 100 "Shell V-Power" = 88 MON or 94 AKI in the US). Even BMWNA recommends Shell V-Power.

Did no-one at BMW Welt recommend for your M2 to fuel at least 98 RON ("Super Plus") in Europe (= 89/90 MON or 93/94 AKI in the US) rather than 95 RON ("Super") ? Octane rating overview: see here.

Not saying that you damaged your engine, but the performance of your car has not been 100%. Only when you're really running on empty and there's nowhere at least RON 98 available, refuel a few liter of RON 95 allowing you to get to a fuel station where they have at least RON 98 for a full refill to regain optimal performance of your M car.

Picture I took last Sunday of fuel prices in Italy (highest of Europe, especially those along the highway): if you want that Agip/ENI fuel station to refuel your car for you ("Servito" = "Serviced") with "Blu Super+ (100 octane)": €2.032 per liter = ± $2.28 ! If you wanted to refuel yourself ("Fai da te" = "Done by you/yourself"), it was still €2.01.

Wow! Well lesson learned! :

I did fill up twice after this with the V-power so hopefully I burned through it all already!

In case of doubt: the one with the highest fuel price of the whole fuel station is the black gold for your M2. No risk of refueling diesel or RON 95 or RON 95 ethanol.

As commented above, if you refuel in Italy at highway fuel stations you usually got the choice for exactly the same fuel between "Servito" (serviced; most expensive price) and "Fai da te" or "Self" (you do it). I already encountered the situation that the 98/100 RON "Self" was locked with a chain (+ a hand-written "guasto" or "esaurito" paper note = "out of order" or "empty"), unlike their 98/100 RON "Servito" pump. Then you ask yourself: either the underground fuel tank is truly empty (as most prefer fueling at the already expensive "Self") or it's not empty at all but just a cheap trick by the fuel station to force you to pay the top price at their "Servito" 98/100 RON pump. Furthermore, it's possible, but not easy, to find 98/100 RON outside the highways in Italy.

Well... she's on a boat now back to NA, so I will have to get it right on my next ED! We don't have many options in the us, so back to just filling it up with premium like our other Bimmers.

Figured I should start talking about it again, law of attraction!

Thanks again Artemis for the helpful feedback!
