I've used regular (85 here at altitude - equivalent to 87 at sea level) in all of my BMW gassers ever since a client who drove BMW's told me he'd switched to regular with no discernable effects. The N52 in my wife's E83 has the highest compression ratio at 10.7:1 of the engines we've had, and I've observed no negative effects from running regular. The M54 is barely a high compression engine at 10.2:1. Your N63 is in between at 10.5:1.
If you drive hard, it might be a different story, but we tend to drive pretty conservatively. As always,... YMMV.
