Buying a f30 335i

So I’m looking to buy an f30 335i (m sport of course haha) and I’m going to test drive one soon that has 85,000 kms on it. My main concern is about reliability so I want to make sure that the car has been taken care of and isn’t going to cause me so much trouble down the road. My question is what should I be on the lookout for in terms of the engine (n55). I have a few things in mind but I’d like to hear your opinion’s.

Pretty solid engine, usually main "issues" stem from gaskets. If you swap out all your gaskets and everything else seems normal you should be okay. Maintenance records is also a huge plus
