Yeah if maintained good for well over 150K, low millage ones are rare, IMO go for the 318is, 325i or 328i. As the 316i, 318i and 320i are wank.
The coupe also hold there value better than the 4 door

The 325 is 192BHP, the 328 is 193BHP. Everyone says they are slow but you'll be suprised! Once one they are moving they shift and the handling is nicely balanced for a large car.

Not faster, just had more torque than a 1.0 12v Corsa something that the CTR lacks.

Yes, all of CTR drivers are ex Saxo drivers.
This is why most of them end up planted into the river or into a wall.

BMW over a Rex
As Adam said mate you can always go back again when your situation is better
Don't even think of a BM unless is a 6 cylinder
Get an Z3 Her uncles got the 2.8 and it's fukin rapid! Anti skid button is a must though.
