i think an E90/N52 will be the sweet spot for you. i just sold my well maintained 2009 E91(wagon) /N52 with 140K miles for $7K. i kept a 2006 E90 / N52 for my kids because it still has less than 40K miles. ince you start looking for them, you will realize just how many E9x are still on the road with many of them over 15 years old...the definitely run with proper maintenance.
if the seller cant produce receipts for recent maintenance, be prepared to do a bunch of catch up stuff. find a good indy shop to do the PPI. the good news is that everything is documented over on the E90 forum and there's youtubes for all of it. good luck with your search.
