Clean or replace vanos sensors
new PCV valve, upgrade to BMS or RB
coolant exchange
in cabin microfilter (if its old)

Here's to hoping the previous owner already swapped out the turbos, HPFP, wastegate, water pump and serpentine belt

agreed.

Check your service records with BMW and report back on what has been done OP!

+1

Once you check to see if there are any open recall campaigns, prepare for a possible water pump failure, though those failing are much better than the 90K scheduled maintenance on most Audi's with timing belts so I wouldn't worry about it. Aside from that, most of the failure points are covered under recalls that are free.

A fluid/filter change is always a good idea when getting a new (used) car.

For an auto tranny he also has to do a flush and pan\filter replacement.

I have a '07 335i but it hasn't reached 100k yet. Do I expect to have my turbos & wastegate replaced sometime before 100k??
