FWIW on mine just after 100k it was open season for maintenance suspension being up there as it was easy to tell when something was off,by the time your hearing stuff its getting pretty bad.
I started to diy myself bc shops were getting silly.
I remember doing the cooling system overhaul at 125k,window motors a time or two, the Vanos,blower motor in the middle of a heat wave that was fun....and a myriad of intake/gasket leaks,finally the tranny let go at 224k and I procured a used one and sold it soon after.
My advice to you is to save 3 to 4k a year from now on to pay a shop or D/L a shop manual and fix yourself it isn't so difficult.
