The turbos are the only real problem with the engine. There are two of them and thus your twice is likley to have an issue. Thats why the N55 got rid of one.
All things considered you should get a 09 or newer 335i for the lack of dual turbos and thus a hopefully easier maintence cost.
Also, the auto used in these models are great, so i wouldn't avoid it if you find one.
Mustang 5.0 is back on top of my list.
Being its fastest of the 3, more reliable, back seats and has that V8 sound.
17 grand?

Hmm, so hard to decide here
I'm no euro expert but I know the n54 in the 335i can make tons of power relatively easily so its pretty obvious you just pulled that out of your ass
They do, simple bolt ons and tunes can pout it past 400whp easily.
But remember this is gonna be my only car and im not about to own a chipped twin turbo bmw as my only car, im just asking to be in financial ruins if I do that.
