Z4M Rod Bearing Service - What Other Work Should I Do?

I have an E85 z4M and am about to do the rod bearing replacement. While the bottom end is down, I’d like to do as much work as possible at the same time. Here is what I currently have on the list:

-ARP rod bearings and bolts
-engine and transmission mount replacement
-all inspection II service items (spark plug and ignition coil replacement, belt check, etc.)
-shift action upgrade (replace all bushings with new poly bushings, double shear shift rod installation.

The car is currently at 52k miles and everything seems to be in pretty good order (only had the car for 3500 miles so far). What other upgrades/maintenance items would y’all recommend I do while I got everything disassembled? I want to tackle as many reasonable upgrades and maintenance items as possible.
