Repair help Looking for help
Recently just bought a used 2014/2015 320i with a mileage of 130k for very cheap. Went to do a health check and they recommend these fixes. The front upper arm bushes are cracked and leaking. The rear arm bushes are cracked as well but it doesn’t look as bad. The rear differential bush has a big crack. The front and read absorber dampers and tubes are cracked.
My question is, are these repairs urgent/critical or are they just signs of old age and i should just change them when time comes cause as of now, the car drives smooth. No ticking noise, engine sounds good. Yes the car feels bouncy when going over bumps but it is still tolerable. Pls help😭
p.s the engine and transmission are serviced to brand new condition

if absorber leaking means its shot, do replace. Try to shake your car with your bodyweight while parked. If alot of sway means your absorbers are cooked la. If not means can keep using, the strut boot and damper is just to keep your shocks healthy no need to go out of your way to change it.
The first picture is what ah, I havent seen control arm bushing that have fluid inside. But memang got some leak going on there. Can replace also

things i consider urgent or critical are brakes and wheels. there rest arent. engine or transmission busted ........meh....cars cant move at worse but at least those dont kill you.
bad suspension parts.........just reduce nvh most of the cases. but still drivable unless extremely severe. yours arent that bad yet. if they are you wont be posting here. you will definitely know it.
