Overall a wel maintained car but what distracted me was the wierd high pitch whistle wen starting up the car, it lasted for about 30 secs or so. But when the car was warmed up, it ran very smooth.
Any input on this? Thanks.

All E55s make that whine on cold start. It's the transmission pump. It's not a sign of a bad one or anything. The design of the pump makes the whine. A lot of people get wielded out by it but it hasn't been linked to any actual issues.
The rotors likely need replaced as well. Sounds like they did half a brake job. Haggle the price or get them to replace them and the tpms sensors.
