My 540 tourer has done 54K miles and I have noticed rattles in the

rattled less than this car. What is a ball park mileage figure for
replacing shock absorbers on a 6 year old 540?

Door rattles have very little to do with bad shock absorbers. Shocks do not get replaced based on mileage since it depends heavily on the quality of the roads the miles are covered over. They are replaced on failure.
