Purchasing advice for 135i

[xelu01]

Hello everyone,

New to the forum and to purchasing a BMW car. I am trying to buy a 2012 BMW 135i automatic with 50k miles. I want to purchase it but wanted to know what to look for when driving and looking at the car. I am trying to get an appointment with a repair shop around the area to do a ppi for me on it. Anything i should let them know to look for? Suspension issues? Oil leaks? electric issues? The car is in Harrisonburg Virginia, if anyone knows a good mechanic shop to do ppi for BMW please let me know.
