(CORRECTION) I did see NOT any significant wear or failure

It's not so much was there any significant wear as was there ANY
wear? If you have a tool for pressing in/out the balljoints then
it's just up to you which way you want to go but beleive that the
inner balljoint isn't replacable on it's own? (or was that just the
E30?)

I replaced the complete control arms at 105,000 miles on my 1994 E36.
Not significantly more expensive than replacing just the ball joint
and I would say easier.
