I would also go for Approved Used, my dealer said they could get one in from anywhere in the UK if I spotted one I liked when I was looking. My old 3 series was also approved used.
I managed to haggle and get the AUC warranty extended to 2 years, and you can continue to pay for it upto I think 100k miles if you want. (Do monthly payments so there's no 60k+ price jump if you intend to go that route).
I've never had any serious lemons, and most issues were covered under warranty within the first few months, you still need to do your own checks though.
