I know I could switch to 93 OCT map and switch maps on the go, but i may not have access to 93 OCT fuel at the station and have access to a laptop in the car all the time.

Also Alex, do you have a 95 OCT map ? It does not specifically mention on your website:
https://alpinemss.com/products/e9x-m...tune-2007-2013 , as it states "Ignition timing optimized for octane of fuel ( 90, 91, 93, 100 and more)"
You can run higher octane fuel on a lower octane map, no downsides. Just don't run higher octane map with lower octane fuel. Yes, just request 95 octane.
