I sold my 135i for a used Cayman. There are some cases of the IMS bearing falling. Mostly on 2006 and 2007 models. I have a CPO 2008 that I purchased in September. It had 34983 miles on it. It now has 37something on it...It's not my daily driver, but the car has been bulletproof. In the time I had my BMW it was in the shop once every month for something (praise the lord for warranty)!
I would just having a PPI done and try to get a CPO. Though they are bulletproof and reliable, if something is to go wrong it will be expensive. More so than your BMW.
