Garage List
My F30 ( 2013 328i RWD sport suspension ) just hit 105k miles and im also looking to do a suspension refresh....

The car is starting to feel a little floaty but no noises or real issues, The other day though after the car was sitting all weekend I noticed a quarter size drop of clear oily liquid below the car, Drivers side/front around the middle to back of the front tire area.. From reading online it sounds like it may have come from one of the bushings ( Control Arm or Tension Rod ). Does this sound about right? There's no other fluid related parts on that side, It had an oily consistency and was clear. It wasnt oil / trans fluid or coolant.

Can anyone think of any other parts to replace while im in there doing struts?

So far my list is ( may help OP as well ) :
  • Struts x4
  • Strut Mounts x4 + all the supporting hardware ( ie new dust boots / spring pads etc )
  • Control Arm / Tension rods ( all 4 - 2 per side )

I was going to make my own post but my info maybe relevant as we are both around the same mileage on the same car.
