That's cool dude, its a bastard platform to work on. I'm not looking forward to out of warranty issues on the R when the day comes.
If you keep it stock it’ll likely be fine until 100k miles or so. The electro gizmos will be odd tho ... you never know with things like shocks etc
I prepaid B2B for 6yr/160k miles, then :nope: out lol.

drivers side window switch isnt working properly, needs replacing
brake fluid is dark, would need a flush sometime

Interesting on the steering wheel light. I hope this just goes away with use? Flush the PS system?

When my car was doing this it was just a bad battery. Dealer went and goodwilled a steering rack since it was throwing a code for the steering angle sensor, but it just wasn't getting the voltage it needed from the battery. I had the same symptoms, a brief period of heavy steering with that error light, then it would clear and the steering feel would return to normal.
