If the eccentric is frozen, good old un-sticking is at hand not replace the whole part just the bolt perhaps and some patience.

So I'm not off my rocker in thinking that the Eccentric bolts can be 'persuaded out' and replaced then?
What service life should I expect from the suspension bushings? I have to admit I have noticed recently some squeaking from the back end when going over speed bumps, but not really at any other time, and the car doesn't feel like it wanders excessively on the freeway, so maybe the bushings are fine

Ultimately found replacement bushes - not BMW... PITA to source as there is no part number reference.

Same appears to be true here, doesn't look like BMW offers the bushings as replacements, but FCP Euro shows replacements available from Lemforder..
