If you don't mind the old school auto transmission in the e55 then it's a no brainer. The only real disadvantage to the e55 is the air suspension. It can be floaty feeling and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. The e55 makes a beautiful noise too.... the 335 not so much. Maintenance is comparable. The air suspension being the big ticket item that tends to be iffy. The drivetrain is bulletproof.

I miss my e55 just thinking about this.
Did u have any problems with cooling issues? Heatsoak? Being a 5.4l V8 supercharge i wouldnt be surprise if it didnt get hot driving around for hrs. With my n54 engine i had problems with cooling issues and coolant lines being deteriorated.
