Just about completely torn down now. I figured I'd tackle the big items all at once, and there is no shortage of those. Items I found after taking it appart:

CV boots are trashed
Transmission output shaft is leaking
Guibo has significant cracks
Center support bearing is completely shot

The only one that really surprised me is the center support. I would have assumed I would have felt shaking or knocking, but no sign. Here is what it looks like:
Here is a full list of the things that will be done in this stint:

Z3 steering rack
New tie rods/ends
New subframe bushings
New control arm bushings
New CV boots, and repack the CV's
New differential bushing
New guibo
New driveshaft support bearing
Complete shifter linkage rebuild including Z3 shift lever
New transmission output shaft seal and shifter seal
Flush differential, fill with Swepco 201
Flush transmission, fill w/redline MTL

Here is the current state of the garage, quite a mess, but all that's left to remove are the shift linkage support and seals.
