I had my 335i for 3 years and never had an issue with the engine. BMW has recently release more software fixes for the HPFP. And they extended the warranty on the early 335i HPFPs to 10 years/100K miles. I think BMW has proven they will do the right thing if it's an issue. I had no fears getting my 535i. And after driving it, I wouldn't want a 528i. I don't think it will be enough power. The 535i is as low in power I would want to go.
I will also point out that that this N55 engine really feels and sounds much more like an NA engine than the N54 engine did. I had a 328i loaner once when getting my scheduled maintenance done and noticed how different that engine sounded from my 335i engine. The 535i engine sounds much more like the 328i I drove. If I didn't know it was a turbo, I would swear by the sound and the way it drives that the 535i was NA. It's really that good. Make sure to try it out.
