If it came down to a 335xi or your subie.. I'd go with the subie.
Really a few of the guys who I have talked to and a few tuners have said go the 335 route because of reliability issues. The only thing I have heard about the E9X M's are to watch is the motor, specifically the bearings. The 335 I haven't heard much about except the water pump. So like I said before, I got to get searching and researching like crazy on to what my goals and usage will be.

edit: Woah, I read your post so fast I didn't see that last comment. I have had 3 Subarus, an 06 STI, 11 WRX and now the 15 WRX (bunch of Evos also) and I have come to the conclusion that this car is just boring to me. I don't like the shifting, the sound and the seats and might have jumped the gun on this so now Im looking into something else.
