Default Octane/station???

I was filling up my Z yesterday and I bumped in to my friend at the station. He was just finishing up his 2012 M3coupe and he asked me what octane I was using. Told him that I used what the manual tells me to use. Then he told me to get it tuned for 94octane, it's much better. I don't know much about the octane stuff but I know if I use lower octane than I'm supposed to the engine will misfire or sum thing. Also I saw on the pump there's like a 10% ethenhol or something. So getting it tuned for 94 is better for the car long term or it doesn't matter? It's only 3 cents different from what I use.
