Would you buy a M3 f80 with out getting an PPI

I am in the process of buying a 2015 M3 with 54k miles. Was last service at 46k, car has Dinan stage 1. Should I get a PPI?

That would depend if you had extra money to pay for services that may be coming up. I would change transmission and diff fluid at the very latest 50k miles. The brakes may need to be changed soon. A common problem is the intercooler leaking and needing replacing. I doubt it would need suspension bushings, but that could be a problem.

Yes, depending on how savvy you are with a used car inspection shouldn't be a big deal.
