Time to do a overhaul

[abeautifulday]

Hi bimmers, my F10 528 (N52B3) has finally reached the 200k millege. I'm thinking of sending this car to a workshop for a major servicing. What areas of the car engine do you guys think I replace? What about the car chassis as I do notice cracking sound as I go over humps?
Any good workshop to recommend?

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like ur ride has served u well bro. Before the guys chip-in their thoughts, perhaps u might want to share if there were any issues with the car along its 200k journey.

Normally, things to look at are:
1. A change of gaskets, seals, o-rings etc that keeps it from leaking (are u having any oil leak issues currently?)
2. Cooling system, especially hoses
3. Transmission oil change - any jerkiness issue?

About the sound when u go over humps, might b caused by the suspension's top mount . This u can do a visual inspection. Have u ever changed ur suspension on that note?

Perhaps the guys can add in....

It was a pleasure journey except for the a few unexpected moments like :

1) The starter sounds unusual with a sharp pitch at times when I did not drive the car for a few days.

2) I also notice the engine RPM when starting the car is a little unstable. Sometimes the RPM when high till about 2,000 and then when back to 700
