What he said.
The engineer's only object is to meet the sweet spot between making the car run at optimum performance at lowest cost. If they could achieve that with lower octane fuel, they would. There is no vested interest in making the car use more expensive fuel - in fact, if they could deliver the right performance and economy characteristics with a lower octane fuel and deliver lower running costs - they would! With that said, the car does have the ability to retard timing to cope with a lower octane rated fuel. You will be duly rewarded with lower MPG and less performance. The choice is yours - but my question would be, who buys a BMW and skimps on fuel?

Answer: More than 3/4 of the BMW owners who lease their cars, or who can afford the monthly payments but want to skimp on gas because "super is too expensive". It's pretty hilarious sometimes because its such a stigma and a negative by some, "ugh I have to put premium in this? whats gonna get hurt if i put regular in it?" , and considering that our gas is such shit nowadays ever since ethanol has wreaked havoc on our fuel supply and our gas tanks, etc, there is a TON wrong with putting regular in, but for the average Joe, they don't care. Hell, nowadays, not even my Scag, or any of my 2-cycle equipment gets anything less than 93 octane, I'd rather have my equipment for a long time than save a buck or two at the pump.
