Need Help for a Friend Possibly Purchasing 2006 4.8is

Hi all! I have a friend who is looking to buy a CPO 2006 4.8is and is going this coming weekend to look it over. I am starting a list of possible issues for him to look for when purchasing this vehicle. If anyone can help me out with the list I would greatly appreciate it.

Most importantly, carefully take your time and look at every little thing at the car. When we bought our CPO X5 I found a bunch of little things that needed to be replaced.

Thanks for the help. I have stressed on the shifting because I had the problem with the slamming rear end when stopping and starting. BMW actually replaced my transmission on this but I haven't really had a whole lot go wrong so I am not sure of the more common issues on the '06 4.8is. Thanks again!
