No problems.
I bougght a first year production E36 320i and took delivery of one of the first e46 323i to arrive in Australia November 1998. I took delivery of one of the first 325 E90s to arrive in Australia.
No dramas just loads of smiles and a great "feel good" feeling each and every time I drive my e90.
If your finances are such that you would rather wait, so be it but if you want into an e90 now, go for it. Forget about the negative. There are only a few cars with serious issues, less with moderate ones and even less with minor issues. The vast majority of e90s are top notch, perfect. The first year problem plague is a myth. There are going to be issues with a small number of cars during any production time of any brand and any model of car. They are a complex machine with tens of thousands of parts.
Enjoy the car NOW and later. If you are a true BMW fan, you will go get one NOW!
All the best with your final decision.
