katit is on a distinguished road
Very timely post. I can tell that pressed in bushings in my X5 already bad. I tend to do "all at once" and this thread very helpful.

Does anybody know answers to following?

1. At about what mileage we can consider suspension "shot"? My car has 112k miles right now
2. Is OE is a way to go or there is specific brands that will last as long? I need another 100k out of this car
3. When I brouse realoem - there is "Value line" parts and they sold in kits. "Value" sounds like "cheap and bad" Am I wrong on this one?
4. What about shocks? They not leaking but I feel like it's time to get new ones.. Is Bilstein HD's is the way to go?

I was thinking about leaving subframe bushings alone. In my E39 they original at 220k.. Is it a weak spot in E53?
