Probably cheapest to get the bushes from BMW although dont quote me on that! They looked the cheapest when I looked although forget about asking them to fit em!!

Agree with previous posts:
Powerflex do some good bushes..do a whole rear end kit for sensible money, if you are planning to keep the car..as labour cost to fit subframe bushes can be high...can give you number to have them supplied trade but they are in North London so difficult to fit
BMW standard bushes are good...bear in mind many are failing MOTs now but they are 15+ years old
German and Swedish and Euros do versions for about Ԛ£8 but the job can be expensive so the better quality is worth paying for...its like cambelts, balljoints, brakes etc...buy a quality brand
Good luck
