Sway bar end links and Lower Control Arm Bushings are pretty normal failure items on these vehicles.

Most of the LCAB get sloppy by as little as 40k miles depending on the roads the vehicle is driven on.

The fact the one bushing as been replaced tells me the other should have been replaced, but if you are dealing with BMW and CPO Warranty they will only repair/replace things that are CLEARLY failed.

If your vehicle has active suspension the sway bar itself can be a big problem as they age.
