This is a good idea, see post #9 and #12, it is for 5 series with aluminum arm. With the cast iron arm of E90 it would be easier. It can be used in combination of hitting with hammer from top with a punch or socket or extension or what not:

Basically adding a spacer in between the arm and the spindle, it is using the tightening of the nut off the ball joint as a puller to pull it down from its hole. Smart idea.
