What’s up everyone, looking to buy an 08’ 335i with 105k and a good paper trail of maintenance:

4-wheel alignment 3/2023
Full Synthetic Oil change 3/2023
2 front tires replaced 9/2023
all 4 tpms sensors replaced 11/2021
Services completed approximately 1500
miles ago:
Air conditioning system recharged
Engine Cooling System REPLACED = Entire
cooling system flushed, New Radiator, New Water Pump, New Thermostat, New Coolant Reservoir, & New Hoses.
Services completed approximately 8000
miles ago:
Oil Filter housing gasket replaced (common item)
Fuel pump replaced
Alternator replaced
Battery replaced
Radiator Hose(s) replaced
Cabin filter replaced

My question is what are some other parts I should expect to replace soon? Thanks

Hi, there. Are you getting a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) on this car? It's highly recommended.

I'm thinking about this:
1. Valve cover gasket
2. Oil pan gasket (do the engine mounts at the same time)
3. Transmission oil fluid

Check this link too: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517476

GL on your decision.
