I hate to be one of those negative guy's, but low mile motors scare me. The rest of the car should be carefree (as long as the tires are not old), but the m96 motor does not like to sit around. The vario cam adjuster internal O-rings get brittle, lifters go flat and the IMS bearing dries out. I like the idea of bringing it to a independent shop that knows the M96 very well. Have them check it out. I would almost suggest a dealer, but they can be very hit or miss on having a technician that knows the early 986/996
