X5 35i vs X5 35d

We are about to pull the trigger on an X5. While I would like the 35d; my wife does not want to wait another 3 (maybe 4) months for the truck to arrive.

Is the 35i a sound decision? I have owned a 335i in the past and had nothing but problems with it. 4 fuel pumps, other things breaking and luckily the warranty took care of it. My question is, how reliable are the N55 motors? Do people still get limp modes due to the fuel pumps?

Another thing I spoke to my SA and he said that i could use 89 octane gas with the 35i. Is that true?
