I also noted the rear diff bushing is toast, the bushing has torn. I noted my car had a sloppy driveline and just gotten worse over time. It was present before I put the heavier M3 diff in but has gotten worse since then. I have ordered the following:


2x Front E9x M3 diff bushes
1x Rear Stock E9x/E8x rubber diff bush
1x Rear F3x rubber diff bush
1x Rear E9x M3 diff bush

There are 3 bushes in total, 2 front ones and 1 big rear one. From my research the M3 bush doesnt fit, but could maybe be adapted to fit. Its quite cheap so may as well get it.

The diesel E9x cars came with a hydraulic rear diff bush, which I am not interested in. But that same bushing was used in the F series cars so in theory, all non M F series rear diff bushes will be compatible. The rubber diff bush found on F series cars looks like it has more rubber in it than the E9x bushes so I purchased one of them as well.
