I am about to purchase a 2018 340i M sport with a M/T, 35k miles. Is there anything I should do right away preventative maintenance wise? Not looking to do any mods to it, just want something that will be solid for years to come. Thanks for any input
That’s fair I guess, I would start by checking for a car fax for oil change interval since clean does not mean well maintained. If the car is city driven and oil never gets to temp sludge can build up in the valvetronic system. I personally have replaced the full valve tonic system on n55s n20s b58 as they suffer from the exact same issue. Next I would check for is steering rack clunk f30s have this odd issue where the steering rack would clunk when turning in tight corners or stand still and need a new steering rack with a revised tensioner. Other wise b58 is a great engine nothing really is a red flags. Valve cover can leak and the pcv can fail but those things are very easily fixed and generally don’t cause permeable damage. When you get into the exterior try moving around in your seat to hear for noises since these cars when parked in the sun for long time gets interior clunks.
