First Bimmer F30 335i

Hey guys,
Just picked up my 2014 335i 6mt M-sport. Took a while to find this car in my budget but when one popped up locally I had to jump on it. The car spent most of its life in Tennesee so it is pretty much rust free and is in great shape for 75,000 miles. Just a few rock chips and scratches on the body that I need to paint correct, but other than that the car is clean.

Is there any preventative maintenance that you guys recommend? The belts were replaced and the oil change was done at my local BMW dealer 1000 miles ago.

Picked up some Dinan lowering springs and was wondering if I need to buy new bump stops for installation. In addition, I was looking at buying a set of 437m wheels from a friend and was wondering how they would fit with the lowering springs. I assume it will only get rid of the wheel gap but I was thinking of doing 12mm and 15mm spacers when I get the new wheels. I attached a few photos of the car that I took.

Looks clean, mate! Congrats.

For that mileage, I'd recommend new spark plugs and coil packs if they haven't already been done. A walnut blast wouldn't hurt as well. Not required, but if you want to get her as close to back to new as you can, this is a great thing to do.

If you plan on modding, an aluminum charge pipe is highly recommended as the stock ones are prone to breaking when pushing the car. While you're there, you might as well do a new intercooler since it's accessed during the charge pipe install. That's about it.
