Test Driving 2009 335 E90

I plan on test driving a CPO 2009 335i E90 this weekend. Is there anything specific that I should look for or ask the dealer above and beyond the 'typical' car shopping questions? I believe that this year and model had fuel pump issues so I'll ask about that as well as the maintenance history.

Every year has fuel pump issues but don't worry about that because the HPFP has an extended warranty of its own till I think 110,000 miles. How many miles?

10 yrs / 120,000 mi on the HPFP and 8 yrs / 82,000 miles on the wastegates/turbos. Just ask to review the maintenance history.

The car has 30k miles on it. I'm also going to double check it contains the correct packages (cold weather, premium, sport, convenience, etc.) that they say it has. I feel like sometimes what the dealer lists isn't accurate.

Anyone know of a website or page on this site that lists detailed info for each package?

What? Really? The turbos? Does that mean if a turbo goes out under 82k miles they will replace them? Really? I had not heard this...
