Are there any simple 93 octane tunes?

I am lucky enough to live in an area with 93 octane. I know the car was tuned for 91 / 89 octane. Are there any simple tunes that would allow me to take advantage of the extra bang 93 has to offer? Or would I need to go to a higher compression piston to get that effect?

Not looking to do any major mods, just looking for a tune or somesuch. Thanks!

Look into the Stage 1 MHD tune. They have a flash for 93 that works with stock. You need an android device , OTG cable, and a DCAN cable

Oh I was not aware that it was an N52. I was looking through new posts...sorry about that. I know there is a tune (not MHD) for N52 but the gains are very small (under 25 hp and tq).

Bimmergeeks, it wasn't toward you in anyway! Your reply wasn't shown, I was referring to a reference for a 93oct. tune, like really, don't we talk about this in every third tread????

Active Autowerke and Bimmer Performance Center are the go-to's here.

You NEED the 3 stage intake/DISA manifold to make full use of it, otherwise you're spending $500 for like what, 10hp?
