It'll vary by car and how hard it was driven, but brakes and plugs/coil packs, then high pressure fuel pump needed replacing at that time. On these mentioned items, I just wait until they fail. I think I even have a post in my history which noted my timing of replaced items.
I believe it was something related to the VANOS or the solenoids I would have to double check. Honestly I wouldn’t doubt having to do them soon since usually around this mileage the solenoids go out or get all dirty. I had a white f10 m5 before this one and the HPFPs shit themselves around 110k miles as soon as I drove away from a gas station, but it was an easy fix. Brakes are relatively new, dude who owned it before me only had it for a month (no maintenance records) but after pulling carfax I believe the first owner owned it for 8 years or something? Loads of records on the carfax like 28.
Pic does not do the car justice of the paint color.
