I just checked and they shipped me a set of PFF5-602 bushings, which are for the e34 and e32, but not listed for the X5. i'm guessing they are too flexable for the x5 for some reason.

I have a shimmy too 100km, but I changed the thrust arm bush to the purple powerflex last year (only have 8000km on them) I have an appointment at the dealer tommorow to check if I still get a shimmy with my stock 19's (wheel swap) I hope they check my front brakes if my problem is still there. But if there is nothing wrong with my rotors or calipers, I think the poly bush is bad. Ill keep you posted.
**UPDATE*** Rotors Are Wraped. Bought a set and installing tommorow.

Charlie, any reason why you swapped them out? How long did you have them on for? Was it the purple ones?
