Interesting

Does he realise that the polyurethane needs to be bonded to the metal inserts

If you look at the setup on the Omega, its the only way it would work.

There are some BMW bonded ones on the net in the USA but, theguy does not respond to emails.

Polyurethane is much harder so is likely to make the ride a lot firmer.

I suspect it wont be suitable for the vertical rear bush as this requires quite a degree of flex
