535i wear and tear items

davedallastx · 12-20-2021, 02:02 PM

Hi, I have a 2016 535 M Sport that I've had since new. I absolutely love the car and was wondering what wear and tear suspension and engine items might be worn out and worth replacing so it feels like new again.

Thank you
Dave

Mileage is important, might wanna mention that.

Rubber suspension bushings are starting to get used up beyond 60k miles. Engine and transmission mounts eventually wear out/fail but not until slightly higher mileage. These are items that degrade over time, so it's not like they fail and you notice right away.

Shock absorbers are known to go at some point. Stock shocks on non Dynamic equipped cars are pretty weak to begin with.
