42k? My view is that at 42k it's new enough that I'd say "do almost everything" and not expect very much. I'd push them to replace control arm bushing, rubber items, ask about engine mount bushings, etc.
I might splurge on new suspension set up but for that sort of car its probably quite pricey and I'd see if bushings do the trick until a later date.
Why no pictures?

The E63 is booked in with MB to have the stop/start looked at tomorrow morning. This will be £120, and the dealer I bought the car from has ok’d it. I did ask about a full inspection but that would add £600 to the bill which felt like a lot. As part of the stop/start they’ll give the car a visual inspection when it’s up in the air- largely to find things to sell me.
DDR, who looked after the C55, will spend two hours inspecting the car for £185. This would be much more thorough and would involve taking things off to take a really good look.
At 5 years and 42,000 miles should I spring for the inspection?
