You didn't say which year was which.

I had a 335 for 4 years so have a pretty good understanding of the cars and what goes wrong.

** edit

Just saw an earlier post, the 2011 is the 328.

Re the 335 models

2008 > 07 (there were early production niggles)

Most issues (hpfp, turbo wastegates) now covered by warranty extension.

From the original car build date whichever arrives first
HPFP: 120k/10yrs
Wastegates: 82k/8yrs wastegates,

so they're close to expiring for an 07.

Elec waterpump can be an issue. They usually go at 60 to 75k without fail, sometimes earlier. In built obsolescence maybe ;) Just be prepared for it, $1300 at the dealer. 6 hours on your garage floor and $600 DIY. Sometimes it messes the battery up at the same time. You shouldnt install a reg battery from walmart if it does. They have been known to explode, bmw approved battery and you should get it registered via the dealers system.

Unless you need 4 doors, the e92 coupe holds its value better and it looks nicer. Color scheme and toys also make a difference come resale.

TBH, id go for the 2011 328
