98 Octane n26

Hello, I was wondering what your thoughts are on having 98 octane fuel for a 328i. Where I live, only 95 and 98 octane are available. I see people over here talking about 91 or 89 octane.. whats the whole point.
Excuse me im still an amateur in this domain and just want to know the difference in general
Have a great day everyone!

97 or 98 Octane in Europe is same 91 Octane in the US and Canada. Different rating systems. Run what the car door sticker recommends.

98 Ron is about 93.5 octane in United States. You can data log and keep adding octane until the timing quits pulling and that is the magic number you need
