Welcome to the forum.
1-car comes with summer performance tires which are completely useless and in fact dangerous in winter conditions. Solution: Winter tires and wheels, OE pack can run you about 3k or go all season if snow and ice is not massive.
2-Used car is a better buy but you are always taking a chance. I have babied my car 100% so far so if I were to sell buyer would get a good deal, others may not care as much and like to drive theirs(like it is meant to be driven).
3-Chipping issue is real. The main areas affected are rear fender flares and side skirts. BMW has come out with a solution(pre cut 3M like cover) that cost around 400$ uninstalled. The front of the car is like any other.
4-The one thing that I absolutely recommend are the comfort seats, rest of it is up to you.
Good luck.
