So sick, love it! Can't advise on preventative maintenance I'm more of a "fix things as they break" kinda guy.
There's a post on one of the BMW forums I've saved somewhere that has an extensive service schedule (but it's aimed at e46 rather than e39). I'll see if I can dig it out. Usually good to try and find out common problems to check - expansion tank cracks, oil breather update etc.
As always @Fixedwheelnut is the Oracle of all things BMW.

Yes that one, I’m picking it up on Wednesday, I’ll take it to the main dealer for a service and to get that oil stain looked at. I’m thinking of getting the water pump done and the transmission oil changed as it’s 20 years old. Then I’ll get the rust spot on the tailgate sorted and underbody and cavity rustproofing done. Any other preventative maintenance stuff I should be getting done?
