- xfer case (bit of a PITA. May have to do a reset adaptation via ISTA-D for high milers)
- tranny oil (older 6spd is easier and cheaper vs the ZF8)
- power steering (dead easy)
- brake fluid (easy)
- spark plugs (easy but have remove cowling and all that)
I'd monitor for leaks in areas for the OFHG, VCG and oil pan. Hopefully rear main seals are in good shape.
Oh clean out the VANOS solenoids if you can. Quite easy too but PITA with the lack of room in N55.

Thank you! This is super helpful so thanks for spending some time in compiling the list.
I will do Oil, brake fluid, power steering and spark plugs myself.
I am tempted to take the car to a dealer for the diffs, transfer case and tranny oil (mine has the 6 speed auto, not the 8 speed ZF). Kinda scared what the bill will be ...
