E63 buyers checklist

Hey guys, in the market for an early e63. Been researching common issues and come up with valve train noise/cam adjustor, airmatic failure and possible pano roof motor.

Am I missing anything to look for? Also, the valve noise - how much and under what circumstances is normal? Much appreciated.

You can youtube the valvetrain noise. It is rather obvious from what I have heard.
