Increase Emission Fault

I got my E92 M3 BMW car with almost empty tank so this beauty need to be filled with fuel. I went to nearby Adnoc gas station but the only fuel available are E-Plus 91 and Super 95, no Special 98 available as i thought the Super 95 is ok for the car, i fill it up full tank. 

Unfortunately, after about 50 kilometers of driving suddenly this message "Increased Emissions" appears on the displays.




Of course i got panic and try to figure our what is wrong. As the car still run normally i decided to use my Autel OBD 2 scan tool, i clear the fault and continue driving and plan to try to figure out what had went wrong.

After search in the internet i found out one of the reasons could be the fuel so i decided to fill up the tank with Super 98 and continue using the car. For 2 days it was ok (i just it to go to work and back about 30km each) but on the 3rd day the fault appears again. Reset again and rush to the nearest Adnoc station.

After filling up the tank with Super 98, now there is no more fault appears. Seems like the American specifications cars have more sensitive with the emissions issue thus more sensitive to type of fuel here available in UAE.

So the fault is gone, i'm on Super 98 all the way now.
