This is very sound advice. Find a dealer you're comfortable with, if you have a choice.
If you want additional peace of mind, find an independent BMW shop and pay for a pre-purchase inspection. Should be less than $150. Then use that list to have any warranty items addressed with the dealer.
I just bought a CPO 2015 535i (32k miles) after doing a TON of research. These are relatively reliable cars. The oil filter housing gasket is one of the few things you need to keep an eye on though. Once it starts leaking, and it will, have the warranty repair done, including inspection of the serpentine belt for oil contamination and replacement if necessary. My gasket replacement was completed before I bought it.
I think you can relax and enjoy your new luxo-barge!
