E91's and e83's and other boring family cars

[bravo 35]

Hey y'all.

I'm looking for a new car and I'm out of touch with what's good and what's not.

I need something versatile that looks good, is reliable, has a comfortable and well-appointed interior, has ok to good performance, can handle light tow duties and costs about $20k (preferably under, but could go a little over).

Nominal maximum of 100kms and 2006 or newer.

So I'm considering E91's (325i or above), e83 X3's (2.5si and above), b7 and b8 A4 wagons 2.0 petrol or diesel and above, and b7 passat wagons 2.0 petrol or diesel and above
(a reasonable r36 is possible at the top of my budget)

Anyone here able to tell me what to look out for or avoid or had any experience with any of these?


Cheers
