Also, not concerning this thread did you ever replace the rear differential bushing, that apparently requires dropping the subframe?
So I had a shop due the rear subframe bushings and replace the factory rear differential bushings with genuine BMW rear differential bushings at the same time since the rear subframe has to be dropped.

Unless your vehicle is going to be a complete track car, I would not recommend replacing the rear differential bushings with any type of solid bushing as it will introduce a lot of NVH.

The rear subframe bushings are another matter. Solid rear subframe bushings do little to increase NVH while helping the rear of the car feel far more responsive and precise.
