Changing rear suspension bushes on X5 using Franklin Service tool

I have an X5 4.4i Sport with knocking rear suspension. I traced it down to the 4 rear subframe suspension bushes. They were all worn and the centre of the bushes had de-laminated from the outer.
I bought new bushes and these bushes exceed OEM standards. I also made a big decision to buy the Franklin Service tool off the internet.
What a buy it has ended up being! This tool removed the old bushes from the subframe with ease and also presses the new bushes in with ease also.
The job took me a total of 4 hours on the floor with the vehicle on axle stands. All that I had to remove was the rear wheels and the exhaust back boxes as they mount on the rear subframe bush.
For a total sum of £267 I have replaced all 4 bushes and I also own the tool.

I will supply a set of 4 subframe bushes and a weekly rental of the service tool for £150.00. I will however need a deposit or some agreement that the tool will be returned. I can even give you a full breakdown of the job including photos etc.
BMW charge an arm and a leg for this job.
Let me know if anyone is interested.
