Besides fluid changes and basic engine maintenace, it comes down to checking the rubber parts in the suspension and drivetrain.

No offense taken
I didn't buy it for the cheap factor, after all it's an M machine! But I consider my preliminary concerns to be entirely normal when it comes to an 11 year old car which, as you stated, may have been prone to abuse.
