Picked up a nice tidy 316i Compact, a 97 R plater on 123k. Serviced every year and garaged most of its life, and generally in nice nick all over. I'm interested though in any prudent care that's worthwhile on these once into high mileage, aside from the obvious oil changes and routine servicing. Any cam chain or other oily bits issues to tackle etc? The car drives nicely, but first gear is a touch resistant to go in when the box is cold; not to the point where it's concerning, just sufficient to require a firm input. 'Box oil change likely to be worthwhile doing? Nearside front wing is a tad bubbly around the arch and will probably be replaced, previous owner already attended to the offisde. Bit of a looming headlining issue, with it drooping in various places. Is there an easy fix for this yet!?

Any useful insights appreciated :)
