Oil leaks which need attention, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, tensioner needs replacing $3400. I think I've hit the age where the water pump will need replacing as well, so that's going to probably cost another grand. I maybe drive the car 2 months out of the year. The car is solid so far and hasn't let me down, but just the numbers for maintenance items makes me cringe...
If you've got time VCG, water pump and cooling overhaul is something you can definitely do.

For my BMW bros who don't know, look into rockauto for cheap parts delivered right to your door covering duties. Look into FCP Euro for lifetime warranty on all parts. Or just grab the PN and do a search on eBay.com
