New Owner 2011 550i

So I just bought a new to me 2011 550i. I'm having them fix a couple of issues I found with the car before taking delivery. Honestly I never really even considered this car, but was in the market for a comfortable sedan since my gf recently got rid of her XTS. So I narrowed my search down to a few cars I liked and I was able to get the best deal on this 550i.

Of course right AFTER I jumped on here and started reading about it to keep me busy while I wait for it. So of course now I'm definitely worried. After my 335i I said I would never get another turbo BMW as out of all the cars I've owned that one has been by far the most unreliable one I've had. However currently I don't drive much and we have 2 others cars so I plan to do most of the maintenance and whatever repairs I can myself.

Anyways... long story short. Anything I should be looking out for, any preventative stuff that should be done on the 550 to avoid future problems. Car has around 60k miles on it.

Thanks
