So long as the body/suspension is good, I wouldn't worry about it. Motor's are cheap.

As long as you're happy with the car man. You can post all day long until you're blue in the face, but nobody can tell you what to buy.

There wasn't any funny tricks with the M20 that it blew up after so many miles...those cars are pretty solid. The best you can do is have a mechanic check it out. Other than that, who knows?

Find the latest copy of Bimmer Magazine. There's an awesome writeup about taking care of the M30 motor (in your 535i).

Congrats!!
