iirc razzo on here had some made. There is always senator bushes
(Edit.Sorry didnt finish this, must have nodded off.)
Senator bushes for the rear i ment. And yes bmw e34 m5 bushes will fit, euro car parts had them. There is a thread no here somewhere.

 I have some here waiting to be pressed into my old wishbones.

But having now driven an Mv6 with normal bushes i am not so sure its the way to go, on the front, at least.

you can get them made up but it aint cheap. Opinion on here is to go for merle replacements, do a search on here as it has been disscused more than once.
Can anyone confirm that BMW E34 bushes are similar? If so i came across this site that does poly as a replacement & wondered about  compatibility

E34 M5 bushes will fit in the front position on the wishbone, but the rear bush will have to remain of standard type.
