D'oh.
That link says it's for E36? Does the X5 use the same shocks?  I've considered replacing my subframe bushings, but I gather there's not really a need to unless they're so worn out that it causes the rear end to be unstable. |
Dillon this is the Meyle HD bushings (x4) you need for your subframe:
BMW Axle Support Bushing Rear (X5) - Meyle HD 33316770454 | FCP Euro
If you are over 120k I'd recommend it, you definitely will feel a difference in the rear end. If you need the tool I have it for rental as well as another member, although it will be going to TwinTurboGTR soon and he will be sending out future rentals, I will be just coordinating for them.
As for the tan interior I hope you are using a really good cleaner on the interior, seats, door panels etc, my personal favorite is 1Z Deep Plastic Cleaner, use it before applying any interior plastic/leather protectant.
