I have far more experience with BMWs than you, over a longer period of time, over way more miles (900,000 total), with a broader spectrum of models. My two N52-powered BMWs have been more reliable and of better build quality than my '89 E30 and '97 Z3. My conclusions about BMWs is they do require more repair, but they last longer than other makes and remain in better shape at advanced age and miles if reasonably taken care of. Maybe your 335i has just been an poorly managed car.

The N52 E90 has shown it easily reaches 300,000 miles, and the turbo versions are showing 250,000 miles is easily attainable.
