I have owned and still owned a pile of BMWs. I have also owned many Toyotas. In my experience, the BMWs are not as reliable as Toyotas. The BMWs are way more expensive to maintain, as well.
I currently have an S54, N52, N54, N55, and B58. They are all great motors, though I only have 10k miles on the B58. I have MTs, ATs,and a DCT. All great transmissions, too.
For your budget, I am certain I would be happy with either the M240 or M340 with a manual. My favorite of my own herd is the N55 with MT.
