You should also have a shop check out the ball joints - bc they will also wear(out). Especially the right side, since the roads have more pot holes on the right sides.
Any wheel alignment shop can replace your tie rods and do a new 4wheel alignment.
You can reset your CBS oil change light yourself. Just follow my DIY.

Thanks for the links! i knew i saw 'em but i forgot where, now it's easier
The idea of upgrading tie rods is interesting, i saw video on youtube how to replace tie rods on 3 series, did not look too hard or complex...
i wonder if there is a way to check if its time to replace it? of course i can bring the car to a shop and they will tell me, but if i wanna save few bucks and do it myself i'd rather do it and then drive the car to the shop for alignment.
