Struts/shocks, upper rear shock mounts, maybe lower rear too, strut top mounts and front tension struts-either Meyle HD or TRW M3.

I'm at 59k miles and so far so good. I think my suspension is too soft though so I may get coilovers in the near future to make it stiffer.

Man 90k is so low! I have double that and I'm on stock still. Run flats were gone a long time ago. Made a difference. Try bushings, struts shocks springs. That'll be the best if you want something fantastic! Just make sure you get good quality stuff.

The meyle hd and the m3 control arm kits work the same for the 328 as they do for the 335.

I have 328i coupe with 100k miles and my shocks were going bad so I got koni sports with the entire shock/strut components including mounts, as well as M3 front control arms/tension rod/tie-rod. I kept ZSP springs, but added lowering spring perch.

I don't drive hard. I don't track. I did it to restore ride quality pretty much. So I wasn't surprised when I saw all the supporting pieces in decent shape. I wouldn't have mind reusing all the bump stops, mounts, etc.. but I already spent time ordering all of the additional peripheral parts that I just decided to use them instead.

I would do the shocks/struts, and do myele or m3 control arms. if you're not tracking, myele. m3 is overkill and for me, I would've been more happier with myele (at least my wallet might be little thicker).

Now my car feels fantastic, although i feel like i have to relearn how my car turn with additional camber. it does feel different.

have fun!

Most folks can't argue with Bilstein HD. Only complaint I have read about them is that they are too stiff for about a month. They are better than OEM and should last you the time you will keep the car.

Set of shocks and struts will run you $650.00. You should probably by the accessory kit on turner motor sports. That will cost $250.00.
