Purchasing M4 - NEED Advice please

I am currently in the works of buying a used 2016 BMW M4 with 33k miles from a dealership. Dealership is out of state so I did a Pre-Purchase Inspection from a BMW Dealership.

The technician told me everything look great aside from one thing. He noticed oil starting to leak on the oil pan and advised that it was a “ nothing crazy at the moment but it’s starting to leak and wanted to bring this to my attention”. How serious is something like this?

On the reccomended services section of the evaluation he mentioned “ replace oil pan gasket (found engine leak) - Status as CAUTION.

Is this something I should be seriously worried about? Should I walk from this deal despite how much I love the car because of this? He told me on a scale of 1-10 he said it’s a 1 and it’s just starting. I don’t want to fall into issues right after purchasing the vehicle. Any advice with this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

This is the GTS subforum, not the general one. You will find more answers there.

Is it serious? It'll have to be addressed and it'll probably cost $2k to drop the oil pan at a mechanic shop to replace it. If you DIY, it's dirt cheap to fix this.
