Only use leaded gas. The plugs, injectors, sensors and valves need that shit.

Nitromethane would be my preference.

even the regular 3 series requires 91 or higher... with an M3 with couple cents difference why not just pay for 91...
Crap i put 91 on my Honda fit... well why not...

If you bought an M3, why would you cheap out on 89 so you might run into problems down the road. Even if you ingnore the reliabilty problems, the M3 will respond better (make more power) with 91+, isn't that worth $3/fill up?

I'm baffled at the questions people on this forum are asking of late.

lol now that i reread my question, i guess i mis-phrased it. obv i wouldnt put 89 in the tank. question should have been worded better, to ask about 91 vs 93.
also some people swear by shell's formula? |

As above, read the manual. BMW Motorsports actually has an opinion on what you should put in the tank. The manual also explains a lot more than your SA did when he closed the sale. Jeez
