Yes, I driven the X on the highway and really didn't notice that much difference between these bushing and the original BMW bushing that was on the car. I suppose if I autocross the X I may notice some improvement, but I won't be autocrossing the X. No squeak so far, but I only installed them yesterday. Will see what happens in the long term. My original arms and bushings were still good so if I don't like this setup I can always go back to the original.

If you don't have a press I would suggest splitting/cutting the polyurethane bushing (leaving the steel bushing insert alone) in half like what powerflex did with their sport bushings.
