Well, I have to say, it all depends on the car you buy.
I would try and buy one with extended warranty (at least a year ahead of the purchase date). If possible I would even extend it further (in time or miles).

you will get your money's worth I promise.

with miles, injectors, pumps, wastegate wear out. All covered by warranty. You'll get a new car using the warranty.

IMHO, a 335i is much more rewarding than a G37. I've been in G37s, and driven a couple. thye are fun, but just not the same. Something is missing on those cars.
After driving the G37, I feel like what is missing is the lack of steering feel and lack of handling compared to the BMW. The NA 3.7 engine is fast in a straight line, but just doesn't convince me. What is a realistic number for my 2009 328i E90 with 41k miles, new tires, black leather interior, and window tint? Thanks again, B.
