Advice Needed

I am dying to get an E90 but I have reservations about taking the plunge. I honestly can't afford a new one (school teacher) so I'm looking at 2008s or 09s. I'm worried about upkeep costs and potential problems the E90s have. How often do they go through tires? Are the CPO's worth the premium? I like the idea of the DSG (wife) but I wonder about maintenance costs, like replacing the clutches. Any insight on these topics or others would be greatly appreciated. I want the car but I already have one expensive obsession (cycling) and don't want to sacrifice my family's quality of life. If these topics are covered in the forum please link to them. thanks in advance.
