New e9x owner

Hello all. I have owned my e92 m3 for about 5 months now. Before this I had a e46 m3 for 5 years before someone decided to T-bone me. that being said what needs to be done for preventive maintenance? the car is a 2009 with 115,000 miles.

1)I have already taken care of the rod bearings for peace of mind.
2) replaced one of the throttle actuators.
3) Fuel tank breather valve, just for preventive maintenance.

**Only code I have is for my tire sensors, and it seems the popular fix is to just code the light away. The car originally had 18s I believe, now they have the 19 comp wheels. **

I'm just use to throwing parts on my old car just because lol. Then again there is more aftermarket support for the e46 platform. Now I'm bored that I don't have any weekend projects to look forward too.

Motor mounts were replaced when the rod bearings were done. Valve cover gaskets seem to be fine. Waiting till after winter to do the rest of fluids.
