I have a 95 525i, 136k, all stock, no performance upgrades, bought it off lease in 97.
Just had new tie rod links put on, new tires, and a 4 wheel alignment. No more shimmy, vibration or front end shake. It is unbelievable, the car drives like it did when it was new. Another reminder of why I keep it.
No matter how you slice it up, it's cheaper to maintain these cars and put as many miles as possible on it than it is to buy a new one.
The wife is also pissed. It rides and handles better and is quieter than her 03 E500.
