There's the running in service.. Other than that: Are we talking M3 level 1k a pop services or 300-400 a year a la the 320? (Wear and tear components such as breaks/tyres not withstanding.. )

Fair play!
BMW must be able to give you an estimated service cost / schedule. All manufacturers make them for lease companies. How many miles are you planning?
I don't think it would need a running in service? Its just the current 335i engine with a mild tweak, not a super spec M V8.
Maybe as it has the M3 rear diff, that will need a short oil change to remove the running in fluid? But not the engine for sure.
The x35i engine servicing costs are no different from any other 3 series really, oil etc every 15k plus the usual filters etc.
If i'd followed specified intervals, I'd have had one oil & filter & microfilter change in 22 months and 24k miles, so about £200 all in, in nearly 2 years. That's it.
