I'm not a genius on cars but when things break down on my car, don't you think I would have the experience on knowing at least the stuff that broke and what it took to fix it? Thats all I'm saying.

For whatever reason the internet seems to give people the freedom to assume all sorts of expertise, even when they've never actually done the procedure or actually seen the part they are talking about...
This particular topic is especially easy to be an "Expert" on -- who ever heard of a bushing that had fluid in it? The bushings on the e53 are the same in design as the e39 (prior generation 5 series) and once the fluid starts to leak all sorts of weird things will happen (vibration, clunkiing, etc...).
Not sure why you got jumped on so bad but remember it's the internet and a message board -- try not to take it so seriously...
