Make car ride like new? what to replace

My f10 550i has 114k miles already, with the amount of parts replaced when i still had warranty, its basically a new car, new engine, all new cooling lines, starter, flywheel, water pump, DME, etc...

Im wondering what can i replace in the suspension/steering/driveline to make the driving feel like like its a new car? a more solid, stiffer, less sloppy feel.

thanks in advance.

I'd recommend getting some coil overs. Way better feel than the stock OEM suspension.

My f10 535d has 205,000 miles on it, I just replaced almost everything under car suspension wise. starting with engine mounts, trans bushing, both guibos and carrier bearing, all four hubs, and all control arms, tie rods and diff bushings. added coil overs and Quaife LSD.

I've got Powerflex thrust arm bushings for sale in the market place if you're interested. Should add a good amount of road feel. Brand new.
