The price you paid for that wonderful suspension, sporty but
compliant, was suspension bushings that don't last long.
You replace them yourself, right? Tell us you don't pay a BMW stealership $600 to replace four $5 rubber sway bar bushings.
That's a DIY job, even on BMWs or Porsches. You buy a floor jack and jackstands and a ratchet and you fix it yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcUTlVpZ_MgLate last year I replaced all 4 sway bar bushings and stabilizer links on my old Explorer for the cost of the parts and a long-handle 15mm wrench: about $70 total (Amazon and AutoZone).
A local Ford dealer wanted $1200 for parts and labor. Not kidding. For a vehicle worth $200 on the Carvana website. Also not kidding.
Yeah it was dirty, hard work on the floor of my garage. Probably 8 hours total.
All the old rubber was hard, crumbling or missing / disintegrated; the difference in handling was night and day.
