My stock 135i front sway bushings were 100% glued to the bar. The bushings left small circles of material behind after I cut them off which showed the places where the rubber had been bonded. I've played with the 128 n51 stock sway, the 135i stock sway, an e92 m3 front sway, and an h&r front sway with afternarket bushings. I know the difference.
The rear M3 sway bushings are literally designed to bind on the bar.
"For Christ's sake" there is nothing wrong with increasing the internal diameter of the rubber bushing to free the bar up.
