Swaybar would have been my first guess too - any clunking when braking, going over small bumps like ramps? If so, could be thrust rod bushings.
Anyway, a good indy would be able to check that out.

BTW, what indy shop did you use?

Place on RT. 1 in Peabody, Loui's BMW. I'm dropping my car off on Monday for basic maintenance (plugs, pads/rotors), and I'll have him take another look at my suspension. I've been driving it and it still just doesn't sound/feel right to me.

I had my sway bars and CV joints replaced at around 55K, do you think those parts need to be replaced again? It's only been about 20K miles since then. I'll mention the thrust rod bushings, hopefully it isn't expensive, and hopefully I won't need to replace my front shock absorbers.. that would be $$$$$$.

If you call Loui's BMW in Peabody, ask for MO, not the owner, but great guy who has been working on BMW's since 83. Very honest and great insight.
