The 335i I'm driving has been relatively reliable. Only thing we had to change was the VANOS selenoids. The turbo problem you mentioned is probably the wastegate rattle. If the car was under warranty, it can be replaced. Sometimes they give you new turbos as well. But its not a problem that decreases performance or reliability, just the sound of it is annoying. I've been driving this car for 5 years now and want a change so looking for a m3 or s5. Put 100k kms on it and never had any major problems. I have already put aside some money for the water pump that's gonna fail anytime soon.
