Why buy F30 with an old engine?

I was about to pick up a F30 335 for my gf who had really liked them but I absolutely hate how bmw rolls out new models with the same engines and then within 1-2 years offers a brand new engine.

I get the n55 is a great engine but it will be replaced by a better engine and we all know this will happen, not like an unknown, given how every generation has ever worked.

Ultimately it is her car but I driving it as well and to her it won't matter but for my own selfishness I would rather enjoy the newest and best engine.

I wouldn't tune it by the way which could be arguement for the older engine given its more known for tuners.

Anyone else hesitate because of this?

The WORST historically in any car brand history was the poor guys who bought a 2006 e90 330i, first generation and within 7 months found out the 335 was replacing it with an engine with 75 more horsepower!
