Look at the RON rating rather than description.
^^^ This. The handbook says 95 RON.

95 Ron is standard unleaded petrol in the UK. Super varies between 97 & 100 depending on retailer

I believe that Americans have lower grade fuel as standard so to them our standard 95 RON would be super unleaded. However, BMW really shouldn't use vague undefined terms like "super unleaded" in the manual, and should stick to quoting the recognised EU and American standard grades.
"Super" was a label attached to all sorts of stuff. Take your pick:-

Haha - which kind of proves my point that it is a meaningless term which should not be in the handbook!

I always put in the poshest petrol I can find, just to differentiate myself from the great un-washed.
Something for which the great unwashed will be eternally grateful

Tried it in the car once.....cheaper than an akro..........
Filled my K1200RS with cheap fuel (by mistake) in Europe last year (less than 95 octane I assume) - ran like a pig. Stalled at some traffic lights and vibrated at motorway speeds!
Like this:
I think it was in Germany IIRC, near the Nurburgring.
