I'd expect to see at least 150,000 miles out of any modern car. If it's a late 80s German car, double that figure.

Suspension bushings need replacing around every 40,000 miles
Are they made from Cheese?

Seemingly on mine!
I had them done when it became an issue (about 45,000 miles) and then recently the left side is clonking like a muddy funkster - potholes, methinks - so it's back in for either new bushes, or anti-roll bar links.

Bushes should last 3-4 times that long. Did you "have words" with the dealer?!

Ah, I didn't know that. The dealer told me they last 35,000 - 40,000 miles.
I certainly haven't done that since the most recent set were fitted - no more than 12 months ago, I think - so methinks there's an issue here...
Thanks for pointing that out.
*edit* and it's at a different dealer for today's work, so I'll ask their opinion.

I'm still casually keeping a lookout for a mint E30
