After doing some sleuthing, I figured out that the e60/61 diff bushings are the same as the e53, so a tool that works for the e60 "should" work for our e53. Found this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQP2ETC...v_ov_lig_dp_it

Only $40 , I'm going to give it a go. I also found some poly bushings made in Europe by Strongflex that are sold as specifically for the e53. Powerflex has them for the e60/61, which should fit, but at twice the price. I'm ordering the European made ones. We'll see how they are.
