'16 550 w/ 25k miles (w/ PIC) - Prev. Maintenance Advice?

Wanted to poll the audience:

I've owned the car for just over 2 years; all stock, adult driven. Wanted to see what preventative maintenance you would recommend to date. As far as I know, the car has not needed much of anything and the only fluids to have been changed are the below vvv. The car drives like a dream with no leaks, issues or anything. I have *yet* to have any issues or CELs come up since owning it. Since I have owned it:

***oil and filter change, new battery - Jan '22
***oil and filter change, break fluid, wipers - Sept. '22
***oil and filter change, new engine and cabin filters, new tires & alignment - Sept. '23

Just last week, i topped off the coolant bc the iDrive told me it was low.

Running original spark plugs. Per the carfax report when I bought it, the plugs were "clean & gapped" August of 2021. [***EDIT/UPDATE 3-18-24: Spark plugs were changed in Aug. of '21***]

Again, no issues with the car but plan to hang onto it for several more years. I'm familiar with the vanos timing issues, the turbo & engine seals plague. I'm not due for an oil change until Sept. 2024 and, at that time, I wanted to bundle any PM service recommended from the group.



TIA
