Vanos covers - go with a bolt on option
Spark plugs
belts
pulleys and tensioner pulley springs
air filter
water pump/thermostat (hoses will last 20 years but people change them and they can get stuck then damaged when you take them off for the thermostat)
Fuel pump (it's the only way to replace the fuel filter, they are integrated)
Evaluate: Brake pads & rotors, brake fluid
Transmission fluid (or fluid and filter if dct)
I replaced every control arm in the car front and back - made a huge difference in the steering feel - you can be more selective on this and save money
AC compressor will go

Thanks man. So far I’ve bought all fluids and spark plugs. Hopefully i can tackle that this week. Car got a fresh oil change right before purchase. The controls arms are also on my list of things to change out. This week I should be able to install these test pipes I purchased from AA 😁
