Adrian, at 220K miles you are doing OK!!!

the front noise - check the front bushings, one of them might be shot... lift the corner off the ground and wiggle-wiggle-wiggle the tire - see if there is play in any direction...

for coils - no need for OE coils, but OEMs by BOSCH is a good alternative... Bosch is a good german brand...

Sweet Thanks! I'll look online for the coils. And I'll check the front bushings. I recently became a Lyft driver in the Beemer and everyone seems to love it. I know the added wear and tear of driving it a few extra hours a day in stop and go traffic could be killer, so preventative maintenance is key!
