If you go with just a stage 1 tune you should be fine man. You can also do what I'm going to do which is to set $3,000 on the side in a bank account I rarely look at as your repairs budget. That way if something comes up there's no worry because the money is already there. Once you use it you can replenish it over time as you see fit.

This is (will, i don't get the car until March) my first BMW and I was worried about expensive repairs and maintenance. After doing some research it seemed like $3,000 set aside would more than cover me for any typical visits to a repair shop.
