I have a 1989 325i BMW. It was a 1 owner car, very well taken care of, garaged ect..
I bought it 5 years ago. I took it to my mechanic for a driveshaft replacement and 7 weeks later & $5500.00 lighter he returned my car informing me I need a steering rack cuz mine has an internal leak. Without informing me he replaced 400.00 worth of hoses & belts, a new muffler, which I did not need. He did call to let me know that he was replacing the cam, rocker arms.I told him not right now & he informed me it was too late, the head was on it's way back from the machine shop. Also he replaced timing belt, water pump, control arms & sway bar link.
What I want to know is was all this work really necessary? My car was running great,
my oil pan had a little leak & my head gasket was weeping but we're talking about a 1989 325i. It books out TOPS 4000.00. I only drove to store & back. Is this normal to have all this work done on this type of car with 169,000 miles & very well kept??
