Reliable and cheap cars under $6.5k?

I'm looking for cheap-ish commuter cars that'll last me atleast 3 years with minimal maintenance. Will probably be doing 10-12k miles per year.

Any suggestions appreciated.

What's the reliability like with B58 engines?

I'm looking at used ~2016 bmw m240i, 340 and 440i.

Wondering if the engine is all hype or it's actually decent to maintain? The ones I'm looking at are around the 60-80k mile mark.

CARFAX is getting expensive. What are the best alternatives?

I'm shopping for a used car and pulling CARFAX reports on everything I look at adds up fast. $45 for one report!

Mainly I care about title history, accident records, and whether the odometer's been messed with.

Any good alternatives?

EDIT: I went with Vinpanda, 15$ for a very in depth report, basically the same as CARFAX but cheaper.
