Thanks in advance for all help,

Sounds like a sweet deal, hopefully I could be of some help.

1) Yes, your phone will work over bluetooth exactly as you describe.
2) From my experience with this car I would say the weakest part of the N55 motor is the cooling system. Waterpump/Radiator/expansion tank are known to go. Also, Oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket seem to be a close second on that list.
3) Yes, auto headlights have a setting to go on/off during the day/night. There's a knob to the left of the steering wheel, when turned to the "A" position the lights should function automatically.
4) No. Power folding mirrors means there's a button to fold the mirrors in. Although, with coding it's possible to have them fold automatically when you lock the car. I coded my car to do this, it's very simple. There's a great app for your phone called Carly for BMW. They sell an OBD adapter that makes coding very easy. Check that out if you're interested.
4) Yes, there's a button that you push which activates the automatic wipers.


Congratulations on your new BMW!.
