So I'm thinking the tie rods are needing replacement. Is there any reason to think a Febi or Lemförder is an inadequate substitute for OE? There's about a $100 and $70 difference per side, respectively.

I'd go with the Lemförder as I believe they are the OEM for those...

+1, yep. got a set o' lemmy's waiting to go into the Touring when The Swap happens.

I went with Lemforder for the tie-rods and Febi for the boot kit, because the other boot prices were outrageous.

Good deal. Looks like FCP is the place to get them. May's looking like an expensive month [emoji849]

I remember talking to Nate a year or so ago, saying maybe I should look at this car or that car. He said to me, "f- that, son. Get yourself an old BMW and suffer properly."

Gd right

But Spenser did it the smart way -- he first baited me into buying another old BMW so my garage quickly filled with tools/parts/a freaking lift to work on these damn things
