Is poor fuel quality in Pakistan causing my BMW 2 Series to sputter?

I usually get fuel from a local pump, and lately, my car has started sputtering and misfiring occasionally. Is it possible that the petrol here is too low in quality o r not suitable for turbo engines like the one in my BMW 2 Series?

Yes, fuel adulteration mixing of solvents o r water is a real issue in many Pakistani pumps. This affects:

Fuel combustion

Injector spray patterns

Turbocharger efficiency in petrol turbo engines

BMW engines are designed for minimum RON 91, and anything lower can cause knocking o r hesitation. Try changing your pump, using hi-octane occasionally, and adding a fuel system cleaner e.g., Liqui Moly o r STP.
