I have a 92 525i and it definitely specifies premium grade in the manual and on the fuel guage. I have been running mid-grade with no pinging or problems but the performance is a touch better with premium...
BMW doesn't recommend premium fuel..they recommed "regular unleaded"... although I always use midrange ... am waiting to use premium when I chip it.
