Follow-up: does anyone rent this bad boy (or Koch equivalent), or should I just plan on buying my own?

I’m renting the subframe tool from Shawn, but I’m thinking the rear arm bushings will be far too small for that tool.

you can definitely use the koch tool for the rear arm bushings - i did - but it is a little tight. i ended up using a combination of bits from the koch tool and a large socket to 'pull' the new bushings (er, spherical bearings - they're not really bushings) in.

Get Z4M bushings and get BMW control arms.

Definitely not buying new control arms. I just bought new Lemforder ones 3 months ago. I’m definitely willing to entertain Z4M bushings.

If you just bought control arms then I wouldn't worry about it. I was under the impression you were planning to replace your arms due to old age.
