I ain’t skeered lol. Knowing all the little bits like you mentioned is a plus. My first e46 m3 I bought in 2001 had all kinds of issues. Rod bearings, vanos etc. all before 12k miles, scarred the hell out of until a few years ago when I picked up my Z4m and the wealth of knowledge here. Anything that can happen probably already has.
