M235i is not bad, have my eye on it too. I would say the reliability has gone up since the introduction of N55 engine.
What about the Audi S3?

The N55 is a fantastic engine! It's not as mod-friendly as the N54, but I think it makes up for it in other ways. Stock for stock it is a better engine, and the efficiency is ridiculous. We averaged almost 37 mpg in our '13 335i M-Sport on the way back from picking it up in North Carolina. Incredible.
I think most of the reliability issues with the N54 were related to the HPFP and the turbos, but BMW took care of those issues.
