What suspension should I refresh

I have a 2015 x3 Msport with the staggered 20 inch wheels. It has the sport suspension delete. I just it 100k miles and my shocks and struts are unsafely worn out. I’m going to replace them with KONI fsd shocks and struts. My front control arm bushings are also toast and I’m replacing the whole control arm. What else should I be replacing? I don’t want to put a silly amount of money in to this.

well you will be... it's a BMW and prices on parts have went up in the past couple years.
check rockauto.com , it will give you a list of components you can browse and decide what you want to replace.

I would do it ALL at once....

No reason to replace anything that is still good. It needs to be visually inspected, either by you or a competent tech. There's not a magic list of what to replace. The big front control arms/thrust arm bushings are always first to go because they take a beating. In addition to all suspension components, the inspection should include driveshaft flex joints (guibo) and motor mounts.
