I would just have my friend, who owns his own shop and is equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment, take care of the items that I mentioned. The last BMW I bought was a 318ti off the lot in '98. While that car was a maintenance nightmare, I would expect that BMW's made significant improvements in quality over the years.
Then you would bet wrong. The N54 has it's slew of issues. Hopefully they hit before the original warranty runs, otherwise you may be in for some big $$ without the CPO warranty.
