supposed we're talking about premium gas.
Is there any conclusion that which has the best gas for BMW ?

They are both top tier. No difference.

I always fill up at Shell, but there are lots of good ones.

I switched from Chevron to Shell. Had 2 injectors on my Jetta failed on me. Took the injectors once myself, they were full of deposits.
Talked to my buddy at VW, he recommended to switch to Shell. He had switched couple of years ago, and never had a problem with his cars.
