240K kms M3 - Suspension/Bushings Refresh Time?

[Sandye90m3]

Hello - it's been a while.

I'm now at 241K kilometers on my M3 that I purchased brand new back in 2009! I still can't find a replacement car except for the GT3. But the GT3 prices are beyond ridiculous right now.

I'm coming to a point where the M3 is going to be sitting in the garage more and be used for track days and trips. So I feel like I'm kinda retiring the jacket but not really.

Now, I recently put the HREs on and have 265/295 width tires and it is dropped on the KW HAS kit. The car feels amazing, but it just feel a bit sloppy when pushing it at the limits.

In the front, I'm feel general looseness and "rolling" of the tire. And when I'm moving the car side to side, it feels a little bit rolly. I can see that my Tie Rod ends are a bit bent, so I'm now looking to do a bushing/arms refresh.

I don't know where to start, and where to stop but I wanted to address it before August. I don't think I need to replace the suspension, as over compressions the car feels tight and great. I think it's time for me to do the bushings and arms and get more camber out of the front and get a stiffer sway bars.

I'm currently looking at something like this that Turner has. What do you recommend?

Turner Performance Adjustable Front Suspension Upgrade Kit - E9X, E8X



Thank you!

Bushings, engine mounts, would start there. Lower control arms are usually the worst ..
If there are knocks, could also be sway bar bushings..

At that mileage, I'd be looking at a 100% bushing / balljoint replacement.
