Dilemma, 335i or 128i?

I have agreed to purchase a 2011 128i M Sport 44k miles with Premium package (no nav and no Xenons) for $19k (firm) but just found a 2009 335I with top specs (M Sport, Premium package, nav, Xenons, Cobb tune, BMW performance exhaust, BMW performance tune, and much more), for $16.500 and I could probably talk him down to $16k. After owning a 2009 Turbo Mini Cooper S I am a bit turned off about having a turbo again let alone two of them… I loved the power but the maintenance was a pain with oil leaks on the turbos and such (3 oil leaks on the turbo in 80k miles) I also look at the 128i because the simple fact that it is dependable (but my wife doesn’t like the shape of the 1 series coupe.)
I love the handling of the 1 series but the 3 series is such a nicer ride (Already have an 2011 328I M sport in the family for my wife)

What to do???
