Reliability 335 vs M3

I am looking for a car to last around 7 years, do you really think a riced out 335 will make it? 7 years later the amount spent on both cars will average out to be the same after 335 repairs? Right? Also, I keep hearing $25k more... not really, when you take into account resale value 4 years from now on a pathetic Procede 335 vs M3, that 25K actually becomes more like 16K. So, 16k more for an M3, sorry but there's just no competition.

And here we have an anti-modded-335i post disguised as a legitimate question.

Special on flame bait at the local market.

Boy, some 335 trolls are really creative in their methods indeed. This must be some emerging modern-day guerilla tactic in the field of internet forum trolling.
