A properly functioning X5 will NEVER exhibit 'pinging' or 'knocking' due to low octane, even down to 87 .

It is important to be precise when using those terms as they can be misleading. (In your last post you flip flop with the terms- if you bring that to the dealer, they will not have any idea what you are talking about....Be as descriptive as you can, the more descriptive the better.

What brand of fuel? Any reason to suspect an issue with that fuel over than the labeled octane?
