Purchased a Used 2021 540I XDrive how did I Do?

Hello new to bmw community just purchased a 2021 540I XDrive with M-Sport Package Included and the Coveinence Pacakage. I got it for $39,420, it has 30K miles and seems in pristine condition. Was wondering how you guys think I did if I got a pretty good deal and what’re some common issues I should be looking out for with this particular model and year.

Congrats, rare colour combination, never seen white on white before

As regards things to watch out for I would just say coolant loss which seems to be an issue across the range. They tend to be small leaks so not catastrophic but obviously require remediation.
Just search these threads about it . Other than that solid car
Very nice engine indeed, one of bmw best

Looks nice. Similar to mine but mine's a wagon. You might want to consider upgrading to the M-Sport brake kit if you can find them used. Much better than the normal setup in terms of feel, dosability, and fade.

As for reliability, mine is a 2019, has 52,000 kms and has had no issues. I do high speed runs on the Autobahn about 3 times a week.

I have a theory that the useless plastic beauty cover on the engine prematurely wears some of the plastic components via the heat cycle. So I tossed it. No leaks on mine so far (fingers crossed).

Seems like a good buy to me. Our '22 540i is almost two years old, and no problems. Very happy with it.
