Hey guys, so im picking up a 2011 535i N55 w/45K miles, other then the routine maintenance, what else should i be on the look out for and or do?

From my research, It seems there isn't many major issues with the N55, seems like a solid engine.
No turbo issues like the N54, no injector issues, no carbon buildup, etc etc.

Water pump?
Fuel pump?


Thanks!

We have a 2012 535i w/about 82K miles. The only issues that I recall were leaky valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, leaky oil turbo lines (they replaced the whole turbo) and the passenger rear door actuator. My out of pocket was $50 for the first 3 items (one visit) and $50 for the actuator. I did have to replace the battery, flushed the trans and changed the diff fluid at my cost. Oddly, my dealer was a mere $50 more for the upgraded (105a) battery (and registration) and over $100 less for the fluid changes than the local indy.
