That's because 99.9% of daily driven cars do not need anything higher than 91. You can do just as much harm by putting in too high an octane as you can too low an octane. The E90 should take 91, nothing more and nothing less. You can get away with 88-89 occasionaly though, but it's best to stick to 91.
