    Deciding between a V8 S5 and an N55 335i

    These are both about the same price and can be found under 80,000kms fairly easy. Assuming I choose cars that have already been properly maintained, anyone know which would be less of a pain in the ass to own, maintenance wise? I have access to a shop with a lift so I could DIY most stuff but complex things like timing chain, clutch, etc I probably could not.

    Looking at 2008-2011 S5's and 2011-2012 335i's. Are the newer V8 S5's more reliable than the older ones?

    I'm already dead set on either car so don't tell me to buy japanese if I'm worried about reliability. I already know both cars require maintenance I'm just trying to get a solid answer on which is more reliable than the other.
