Aside from Seafoam, BG 44K has a four-part kit that can be bought at BMW. It was recommended to me by one of their mechanics. The oil additive is far more aggressive than seafoam and requires an immediate oil change.
On top of your very good list, these are others things I do when I buy a used BMW, then fall into regular inspection intervals:
Fuel filter
Cleaning tps sensor, inspecting the connectors
Cleaning iacv, inspecting the connectors
Replace all vacuum hoses
Replace cps, inspecting connectors
Replace oil filler cap and dip stick o-rings
Inspect vanos
Replace radiator fill cap
Coolant temp sensor
Oil temp sensor
Brake pads
Brake rotors
Replace any missing clips, bolts, screws, covers in engine bay
Replace intake filter
Replace cabin filters
Clean inside of intake manifold
Clean inside of throttle body
I need to physically see the part in question and make notes that whatever it is has been replaced.
