Greetings fellow 5 series owners

I just got off the phone with my SA at my local dealership. My car has been at the dealer for 3 weeks now getting new turbos and a new o2 sensor and now they found that all of the rear suspension components are bad including all of the bushings, control arms, and sway bars. Also all of the front suspension bushings are being replaced. I'm excited to have an almost brand new car when I get it back but 5 weeks is a long time to be without my baby.

I will update when I get it back.
Cheers

are you paying for anything?

with these cars coming up on 8+ years old, you can literally change the whole car with new parts.

If you are paying for anything, I suggest taking the car to to an indy, the dealers will chnage so many unnecessary parts. if they are footing the bill then its the dealer all the way.

I would not have the dealer change nothing suspension a waste of money. Take it to an indy with your own parts you will save yourself a lot of money unless the dealer is footing the bill
