Towne BMW here in Buffalo recommends the mid grade, or 89 octane, to all their customers except the M cars and S Minis. We have driven both our cars a total of 70,000 miles on 89, and there has been no problem at all. Even Towne's top tech, who is an award winner, uses 89 in his own X, which is a 4.4 . . .Notwithstanding BMW's official recommendation, 89 seems to work well, and there is little, if any, power loss. Certainly not enough for the average driver to notice it.
In the final analysis, however, it's up to you. Good luck.

I would use what is recommended. Putting cheap gas in a $50k BMW is like buying a $10k top of the line Plasma TV and then using an antenna to get your signal because you don't want to pay $30/month for cable. If you can't afford the gas, get a less expensive car.
