335i or 550i

I know these cars are quite a bit different
I just sold my lexus gs350, great car
I decided I wanted to get back into a BMW
Originally I wanted a 335 coupe, loved the way it drives
After continuing to look I stumbled upon the 550i and it is a very sexy car
Both cars I am looking at would be 2008-2009 with sport package and automatic

The 550 seems like more bang for the buck
My commute to work is 7 miles and on the weekends we are always in my wife's sequoia with the kids
Annually I drive less than 15k miles a year

Which car would you rec
Which is more reliable
Downsides to either
Which would hold its value better
Etc

Any help would be great
