Default Hi from Japan

I'm Mike.
Lived in Japan for 13yrs, both in Tokyo and Okinawa.
About to move back to the USA, to North Carolina (which I know nothing about)
Just bought an 08' 550i 6spd.
I also own and operate ziptied.com & forums.

I'm still sifting around the forum and I'm sure I'll find it, but anyone have links to common issues I should look for? Mine has 90k, but appears perfect inside and out.
Like all BMW, check for little oil leaks, and front bushings?

This is my second BMW btw, I had a fun E36 years ago.
