Age is also a factor, and most E90s, never mind 335i's, will need a bunch of maintenance caught up before you can really depend on them daily. The sad part is most people neglect their vehicles, and buying a neglected 335i can be very expensive. I'm sure one that has been sorted can be reliable, but be prepared to do all that work if you buy one, because the previous owner likely hasn't.

100% agree. Even well maintained examples will require maintenance as they age. Most of the stuff I've had to do falls in that category. Seals dry out, bushings crack from age, and so forth.
Really, the only major N54 things are injectors and the HPFP. As long as it's stock the turbos should be fine, as least on the LCIs…
