Problem items to look for

Just picked up a new to me '13 M5 with 45,000 on the clock.

The car is under warranty through Jan. 2020 under BMW's extended warranty.

What items should I have looked at in terms of preventative maintenance? (other than standard breaks rotors tires etc.)

Rod bearings, plugs, injectors?

I don't plan on tuning it anytime soon.

There are a ton of threads out there just like yours. Read a couple related threads to cover all bases.

A few very basic ideas are fluid changes/flushes if you don't know when they were done last. Same applies to spark plugs and air filters (engine and cabin).
