I typically rebuild the entire suspension on BMW's every 120,000 miles(ish) or when the first major component goes bad. This way I deal with very few annoying noises/shudders/etc related to the suspension through ownership.
Not a bad plan. I'm coming up on 140k miles and so far so good (no clunks or noises and rides well enough) but I know it has to happen soon and I'll be in for the whole kit = $$$$
