NEED HELP buying M3 - Issues with PPI

Hello Members,

I am pretty new to this forum and still do not know what should I be scared off and run away. Reading multiple posts from members who bought the car and ran into issues right after makes me concerned. I need help to identify the flaws in the M3 I am considering to buy. Owner looks pretty straight up and a chilled guy, he agreed to get a PPI done from Edge Motorworks in Mountain View and the report is something I need to be concerned about. I will appreciate if you cane see the below list came out in the PPI and advice/comment the once which you are familiar with/cheap/non-issues from you past experience. Some which seems like a non issue to me I have already GREEN and the once scare me are highlighted in RED.
