My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
Today finally got my car back. After removing the SB, the engine light is still on and vibrating when stall. When I step on the gas pedal, it is "choking". Will need to re-check tomorrow.

Recently, have some aftermarket parts for this control arm bushing.
1) Dinan monoball kit - price is fucking crazy $699 US
- http://www.dinancars.com/shop/D280-0...it.aspx#page=2
2) Meyle HD bushing - may just $30 ~ 50 US / just like OEM but claim for heavy duty
- http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/att...10-2010_en.pdf
3) This method may need double confirm with AK. Once Before AK told me E39 and E60 are in same control arm, but OEM part number in different. If this is correct, then you can go to replace the Powerflex E39 to our E60 - May be around $80 US

Good luck !

will try to call tomorrow when I wake up..ha,
btw, I also ask AK about can I use E39 to replace on E60, and AK seem so sure that the rear is the same but not the front. its strange that I'm not a daily driver and the road condition where I always drive is not that bad, so I dun know why its so easy to break. AK guess maybe those 2 lower arm got some quaility issues.
