130k Miles, What are some must replace items?
Car hit 130k and I will be soon hopefully putting on a ST. While the car is down I plan to replace all the worn parts. But what are some items that would normally need replaced at 130k? Assuming I haven't replaced anything. Including suspension as well.

You should have at least changed oil and tires at some point in 130K miles, surely you can't be serious that we should assume you haven't replaced anything. All the fluids and filters should be first on your list. Then start looking into known E90 failure points, i.e. water pump.

I'm not trying to nitpick and I'm sorry to see that I've frustrated you; I was simply taking your first post at face value. If you're asking about specific gaskets, I know the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, and oil pan gasket are all problematic on our cars-- if you have any sort of oil leak I would look into replacing those.

Other than that, maybe some interior trim items need a refresh? Just detail it and enjoy it, these cars are phenomenal.

google Mike Miller BMW download the old school maintenance
schedule. Use your own judgment. divide by 2 for most stuff. Things that likely need attention besides all the fluids. Do not ignore the accessory belt tensioner. (if the belt comes off or shreds it can take out you motor via the front motor seal) Some people do preemptive change of there water pump and thermostat. Radiator is likely at the end of life. |

If you are going to have the turbo's replaced, I would replace the inlets with Silicone ones. Replace the engine mounts with 335is mounts. Water pump and Thermastat plus the U shaped pump that connects the two. In the front, M3 control arms, tie rods, sway bar links, shocks and struts. Transmission mounts, sway bar bushings. In the rear, subframe bushings, shocks, differiental bushings, m3 control arms, ball joints, rear, front control arm bushings, rear, rear lower control arm bushings, rear, rear upper toe arms, sway bar links, Sway Bar bushings. Fluids, everything - 1) transmission 2) Power steering 3) brake fluid 4) coolant 5) differiental You probably have about $3,000 worth of parts plus the turbo's which is about $2,000.00 in parts by themselves. I'd go with RB's myself. So, about $5,000.00 puts your car better than it was at 0 miles right from the factory. |

As far as the interior, its good. I do want to get a DIY steering wheel cover. They have them on Amazon for about $50 that you sew on yourself and they look very nice. And some leather is starting to crack/peel so I have a kit to fix that. Trim is wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl so I am also good on that as well. But thanks for suggestions. |

I have original RB turbos on the car now. If I sold those, the Hi-Flow downpipes, the RB Inlets, AFE Intake, and the other twin turbo parts I could recoop about 2k+ easily. This would make up some money for going single and help to replace parts. Thank you for the list of bushings though I will keep those noted. |

Will also keep that in mind. The bolts have to be changed as well right since they are aluminum one time use?
