With the exception of engine, there are similarities with my previous 2014 F10 535i xDrive. First, I would suggest having the car looked over by a trained tech. Pay particular attention to suspension. Struts, CV axles, wheel bearings, and rubber mounts should be looked at.

Some interior parts are coated with a film/skin. This film deteriorates over time, from weathering and/or wear. Parts in particular are the door handles and air vents. Affordable aftermarket parts available. Replacement is fairly easy.

I am all too familiar with your roads, having spent several years out that way. Those back roads can be challenging, and brutal on the vehicle. Narrow bridges, sheep traffic jams, mist, cross bulls, I've encountered them all. There is a reason why the world's best rally drivers come from your country.

Also, you may want to see what info is available at 6post.

Cheers!
