Hi Brains Trust, looking for some guidance; BMW ownership is new to me so apologies in advance for all the dumb questions.

Just purchased a 2008 335i, E93 (N54). Car has 98,000kms on the clock, just serviced before purchase. Wondering what folks would recommend getting done immediately in terms of maintenance.

From my research I understand things like carbon buildup can be a problem - how would I know this is a problem? If there's no easy way to tell, is it worth getting the walnut blasting done?

Also, during the PPI there was some evidence of oil leaks around the gearbox sump and some oil on the under tray. Should I just get it cleaned and then monitor before doing anything further? Or worth doing a transmission service and get the gasket replaced?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
