I can't recommend any of the mercs for the same reason plus they did not age well IMO from a styling standpoint.
I know it's not what you want to hear but if spending more than $30k is an issue then the inevitable multi thousand dollar maintenance bills and two fill-ups a week will put these cars beyond your means.
I'd say your best bet for $30k would be a mid mileage 335i sedan with a tune
