HUD and Fuel

I have a brand new M340i Touring and I have two questions.

Fuel Cap says use 95, but those numbers tend to be arbitrary and minimum depending on the market. I have always filled my petrol cars with 98 but there is a 40c/l difference in price between 95 and 98. It's cheaper to buy 98 from Gull Locally which uses some sort of Force 10 branded Ethanol mix. Is it OK to use 98 ethanol? Will it have detectable performance difference or cause the engine issues short or long term?

Secondly, I can't drive during the day without polarized sunglasses. I had a 335D 2015 that had a HUD previously and it was bright enough at the brightest setting to see the HUD in most situations, but even at brightest on the M340i, it's hard to see in lots of situations. Is there a hack, or code or something that will further boost the brightness?

Lastly, in my old car, some radio stations would display the song being played, or other information that I can't seem to get displayed in the new car, is there a trick to that?
