Is the BMW 335i a reliable car?

I have a $30k price limit for a car. I like the 2012 335i sedan (F30). How is the car compared to the Ford Fusion and Chrysler 200? (those were my previous cars, and they were always in the repair shop)

Also, are the maintenance and repairs really expensive for the 335i? Apparently, Edmunds says it will cost me $3600 per year. Is that considered to be a lot?

What other cars would you recommend below $30k? I just want something that's reliable with some luxury.
