My 95 855 also just passed 120k miles. I will change the fuel filter soon because it was changed back in 60k miles by dealer. I also did the Aux. belt on Sunday along with the oil change. I will change the starter and spark plugs when the Spring is closed to the door step in Boston. My starter is acting up since the winter. At 130k mile, flush the tranny fluid. Oh, I had both hub changed back in 110k miles due to the bad bearing. This is something that you may want to pay attention.

I replaced both front struts and rear shocks back in 100k miles to Bilstein. Both control arms (A-arms) were replaced after the front strut replacement because I was told by the Sears (front end alignment afte the front strut replacement) that one of the ball joint had some play (not too big deal). I decided to replace both myself anyway. I asked dealer to replace the right motor mount soon after 110k miles, just in case. Since the right motor mount is one of the issue in 850.

At 140k miles, timing belt will be changed and water pump will be inspected.

Hope this help.
