Is it necessary to use premium gas in a BMW X5?

I've heard that using premium gas can improve the performance of a vehicle. Is it true for a BMW X5? Does it make a difference to use regular gas instead? I want to save some money on gas but also want to make sure I'm not damaging my car.

Yes, it is necessary to use premium gas in a BMW X5. The higher octane level is specifically designed for high-performance engines like those in BMW vehicles. Using regular gas can lead to knocking and decreased performance.
