I recently had my car ('03 330xi, 165K miles) serviced...car was pulling to right under braking, especially noticeable at highway speeds. Replaced front control arm bushings, rear lower ball joints and performed alignment. Still experiencing the non linear tracking...any thoughts on potential cause and potential solution?

I was replacing a turn-signal socket in my '01 330Ci. When I closed the hood, the passenger-side "kidney" popped out and hit the garage floor. Looking it over, the plastic was cracked at all points where it mounts to the hood. I did a quick check of the driver-side grill and 3 of the 6 mounting points were cracked. Duct tape to the rescue and the new parts should be arriving tomorrow. The main reason I bring this up is that it might be something people want to check on their cars. My car has never been in an accident so I assume it's just age and heat cycling of the plastic that caused the deterioration. My car does, however, have fairly high miles (160K).

Has anyone been experiencing light squeak issue ? It only happens when the engine is warm (230 degrees). When it started, it would only squeak while making left or right turn. Took it to dealer and they replaced brake sensor. It didn't do anything other than the squeak now happens after coming to a full stop/then accelerating. Took it back to dealer 2nd time and now it happens on right turns (they deglazed the rotors). Funny thing is when I drove their loaner ('09 X5, 7500 miles), it had the exact same squeak issue. I read on some blog that if you go in reverse and slam on your brakes a few times, it would eliminate suqeak. I've tried this but the squeak returns after a few days. Is this just an issue I have to deal with ? I never had this problem on my '03 330
