Did you mean to say the 335 depreciates
more? If the 335 is ~$5k more at purchase, but then the same after 3 years it means the 335 lost more value over that same time. ...unless I am missing something.
There used to be a site with BMWFS depreciation values, can't find it now.
Edit - found some, the 335i depreciates slightly more, as I would expect. These are a few years old, but I would think the relative values should be similar today.
