Luckly on the 3 series you can still order them without all those silly electronics, the base model with maybe the sport package is the way to go.
On the older cars I would check the motor for sludge, a lot of owners followed BMW's extended oil change schedual with the wrong oil. I would stick a light in the oil fill cap and they better have records of the motor getting an oil that meets BMW spec's at least every 10k-15k miles.

i-Drive isn't so bad:
1. Rock the knob in one of the eight major compass points to access the main menus,
2. Rotate the knob to highlight a selection within the menu;
3. Press the knob straight down to effect the highlighted selection.
4. Call 911 for an ambulance to pick up the old codger in the crosswalk that you just ran over while futzing with the i-Drive.
