Check the BMW owner forums. Read up on these cars and see what the weak links are.
I'm not familiar with BMW, but it looks like 07, 08 and 11 are from the same generation (2005-2011). Again, not familiar with BMW, but there usually aren't major mechanical upgrades throughout the span of a single generation. If the car was engineered well to begin with, the first year and the fourth year are mechanically the same (differing only in minor cosmetics). You can really use that to your advantage when used car shopping since cars go down in value moreso by year than mileage. On the other hand, if there has been desirable improvements throughout the generation to correct mechanical issues then you would want to get the last car of the generation.
