All of the above, BMW are not known to be the most reliable cars.. (understatement) Cooling system always has problems, starting with leaky expansion tank ending with leaky hoses. Waterpump causes issues sometimes around 80k. Tranny and Engine (hope they don't go bad), electrical systems are ok unless a component brakes.. major money to fix, unless you are a diy type of guy. CV boots, control arms are known to give issues as well. Tensioners and pulleys (had all replaced in all 5 beemers I have owned in the last 8 years).
Other then that you are good
