Are the turbo waste gate/s not covered on the newer cars? I know the 335i from 07-10 are covered for 8 years or 82k miles I believe.
Now I agree on the water pump, mine just went out. Im sure the 335is shares a lot of its parts with the 335i, so this will be something that will most likely go out after your warranty is done. Mine died at 62k miles.

True but you don't need to get a new set or new tire if the nail was not in the sidewall or the tire wasn't in low pressure (below 10 I believe). Mine had a nail and was fixed, still perfectly fine and that was 4 months ago. They are crap though, one of my front one's has a bubble on the side wall

Thats horrible!! My Cobra gets around that on 100% city stop and go with 13 gallons. My BMW gets around 230-240 also on 13 gallons on same scenario, I always gas up when its a bit over half on my last quart. Again, I dont see the 335is being any different even in gas over a 335i.
When I went to Vegas I avg around 28MPG, was a 260 mile trip and still had about a quart and a half. Also driving around 75-80 MPH, did it under 3.5 hours.
