I had a 2005 330i and sold it about a year ago.......still very disappointed that I sold that car and I (and the wife) still want to kick myself. I had no issues with it, bought it at 80 000km, sold it at 111000 after owning it for nearly 4 years.

The 330i is a great balance between reliability and power. No turbo so nothing much goes wrong with the engine and related components, but still plenty of power. Water pump will fail at some point, you'll probably catch it well in time if you check your coolant level occasionally, as they tend to leak before the more serious issues start (that's been my experience with my E46 328i and my E92 335i). 

They're pretty reliable but be prepared for $1 - $2k service and repair bills when things break.
