bimmerfan is on a distinguished road
With engine management software it should adjust the detonatin, timing etc. to accomodate the lower octane fuel without causing any problems over a long period of time. Any issues that would come up would materialize in the form of engine knocking (which would be resolved by switching back to the higher octane fuel)... I really don't see it as being much of a risk or causing any damage to the engine.
