Default Can someone help me with BMW's please

Ive got an E32 735. Its MOT Time, now I no there are a few little things wrong with it. Nowt major, except the rear sub frame bushes.

So I bought a Powerflex set. Now the garage have said to fit them its a case of taking the rear axle off and then said £400 Labour But I dont believe him

Just spoke to one of the technicians & he said you dont need to take the rear axle off you need to remove the rear seats & seat belt take the big bolt out & use a void bush removing tool & pull them out...

I new there were a lot of BMW owners on here thats why I asked

Ive since found this:

http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/mainte...amebushing.htm

Im pretty sure the E34 is the same setup as the E32.

I'll phone a different garage, I dont think this guy knows what he is talking about. I only took it to this particular guy because his garage was on the MOT certificate thats just expired and thought "well he knows the car" because ive only had it 6 months
