Having just inherited a cheap hatchback as a workhorse my plans for next proper car don't require me to get a hatchback any longer.

My brother's wife has a leased 4 series hardtop convertible. It got me looking at cheaper alternatives and I see there is an earlier 3 series which is similar. I think this is the E93?

Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated. Would this be a good or bad idea at £11k budget? Any particular engine to get or to avoid? Any good or bad years? Are they generally reliable? Any common issues to consider, etc? Thanks.

Thanks. I've done a bit more research and the normally aspirated straight six 330i seems to be the model to aim for. So I will see if I can find one to take a look at.
