High performance and reliability typically don't go hand in hand. Manufacturers are trying to push technologies to new limits, and M cars represent the "state of the art" at the time they're produced for BMW. If you want reliability, you find that in mass produced, more mature technology - M represents low production rates of envelope-pushing tech. So, I'm not sure I could recommend an M car that would be more reliable than a 335. You need to decide where your priorities are - high performance or reliability... but you won't get both in the same car. A new 335 may represent a nice middle ground... not a slouch but also doesn't have the demands of an M car. Otherwise, you can look at Japanese brands... but I think the performance aspect suffers and they're not as reliable as the mainstream reputation would imply.
