People,do you read the previous posts?
I stated before that there's a way to fit the 5th series bushings there,but the inner diameter in smaller,so there's a need to increase the diameter in order to be able to fit the bolt in.This info is from russian e53 community.
I haven't tried it,but I am pretty sure it's a better bet than trying to make the bushing of any material yourself.Less margin of failure.
Nobody produces these bushings.It's been discussed for years already.

This is crazy! SOMEONE has to be making these bushings (U.S.)/bushes (Euro) for BMW. At $400 for each side it makes more sense (to me) to just replace the bushings.
