See http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...me-bushes.html
...and http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...me-bushes.html RB, see post #9 re needing the tool or not.
For clarity it's just a loud bang from the rear when coming to a stop. I had mine replaced about 20k miles ago. Although I am a proponent for powerflex as I have changed my entire front end to powerflex, I replaced the rear subframe bushes with OEM and they are still doing the job nicely.
Look here for the full monty on getting the job done: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tempt-2-a.html
