n54 + 5k in repairs vs n55

In toronto the difference between a n54 and n55 or similar mileage is roughly 6k give it or take after tax . For someone looking at buying a n54 or n55 as a weekend , summer car , what would make more sense. The budget is around 15 k canadian ( could be close to 20 for a really good deal)

2007-09 N54 with roughly 80-100 k miles with manual sport package for 11k to 14k or
2011 N55 with roughly 80-100 k miles with manual sport package ( maybe less options than n54) for 18k-21k


I ve been debating with myself , if buying a cheap 335 fully loaded and keeping 5k in the bank for repairs or mods ( turbo upgrade maybe?) is a better idea than using all my budget on a n55 and hoping for the best. There is not question N54 responds best to mods and n55 is more "reliable"

I m not even sure if 5k in repairs can get me a "reliable" n54.
