Owned a 2006 330i 6speed sport package, fairly reliable. Still expensive to fix. $3k for clutch and flywheel, oil pan gasket not a cheap fix or diy friendly (have to drop the front subframe), also had to have camshaft and bearing ledge replaced due to an oiling issue ($2800). So just keep an extra $3000 around for any issues.
If you value AWD get a 330xi/ 328xi
If you want a small car, maybe try a 128i, I’ve always been a little tempted to get one as a track toy.
