Do BMW always need to have the front end bushings replaced around 130k miles or eventually?

Im looking at buying a used Bmw, but i don't want to spend 6k on it then have to replace a bunch of parts that give out.


The car is a 1997 328is and has 117 miles. It has been upgraded with coil overs and sway bar and exhaust and some parts added to the engine. Is it worth 6.5k?|||Without seeing the car, it is impossible to say whether that is a fair price, but you will probably have to replace the front end bushings at about 125k miles. I have a 1996 328iC with 147k miles on it. Surprise, surprise, I had to replace the front bushings at 125k miles and the mechanic said it was normal to need to do that. Don't get it done at a dealer. There are plenty of independent BMW mechanics who can do the job and will not charge as much.
