Do I need to use higher octane fuel in the BMW X8?

I recently purchased a BMW X8 and was wondering if I need to use premium or higher octane fuel. Can I use regular unleaded fuel without damaging the engine?

While it is not necessary to always use premium fuel, it is recommended to do so occasionally to clean out the fuel system and maintain the engine's performance.
