+1. I installed the Whiteline kit, KDT917, which I believe is the same kit as the Nolathane, and I love them. I recommend them to anyone who will listen as nice alternative to the M3 bushings because of the comparative ease of the install.

Great ingenuity with the removal tool btw. I did mine the redneck way by placing sockets between the car and the bushing, heating the bushing up and using the weight of the car to press the stock bushings out. Not quite as elegant as your solution but got the job done.

On my 128 it wasn't so much the squirming under power (not an issue for a 128) but more the downright dangerous oscillation/rubber band see sawing effect, when making high speed transitions. Very unnerving once you move away from the runflats. These bushings eliminate 99% of that.
