Have my vehicle in my favorite BMW shop for some preventative maintenance, and got some unfortunate results back. I'm at 185k on my N51 128i Coupe. The steering rack has started to leak pretty heavily, like they tend to do on E90's, and I am proceeding with a replacement rather than rebuild. I also got news that my center driveshaft bearing is cracked as well as one of the motor mounts collapsed. I am getting all of the work done; PLUS the items I came in for. That shows you how addicting and one of a kind these 1 Series are. The motor has so much life left in it, now just the typical not-so-fun wear and tear items. After this, I should be in pretty much perfect shape to run that N51 another 100k with regular maintenance. I love the car too much to have anything deferred; especially something that can be considered safety related. Fun times!
