Do you know a way to test out the bushing? I know the x5, you have to release the pressure from the suspension before you can shake the tire. do you know if that works the same way as E90?

The only way I know to test bushing it to get a crowbar and pry on them when the car is up in the air. If you feel (highly subjective) like there is more play than there should be for the amount of force you apply, then it's a good idea to change the bushing for a new one.
Also, by visual inspection you can get an idea of the current state of the rubber in the bushings. If they're cracked and look old, it might be time to get new ones.
I have never messed with any suspension bushings on my E92, I got a complete set of polyurethane ones and swapped out everything.
