Trading the 01 E53......key things to inspect on 4.8?

Hey guys. Long time lurked here. FINALLY found the 4.8 of my dreams for the wife. Trading the 01 in. Of course I'll get a PPI, & this is my go to dealer and I've rarely had issue with their BMWs. I test drove this one yesterday and the cooling fan would not come on after they replaced the coolant reservoir. Odd. I shut it down as soon as I got a temp warning. I won't buy it without everything fixed, wheels repaired, etc. as usual. One owner car. It does not have a damn mark on it. 60k mi. Spent its whole life in TX.

Just curious if there's well known issues to check for beyond the leaky airbag suspension units/struts? Headlights need to be polished too.

I'd like to know what you guys have dealt with on yours. Thanks!
