What are the symptoms of bad front struts on the E90? I just picked up my E90 a little over a month ago, so I'm trying to gather as much info as I can. Thanks!

The strut itself isn't anything special, so they'd be the same as any car. Signs of oil leak from the piston seal or a bouncy feeling when you brake or go over a road imperfection

Depends on the age and last service of those parts, but I'd take a good look at the bushings and boots. I had a busted bushing on one of the control arms that made the car really janky. It's better to catch and replace these bushings while they're failing before they actually fail.

Also good to check on the hub bearings and replace your lug bolts since these cars are getting pretty old. And if you have time, pull off your underbody shield and check for oil leaks
