Bought a '99 M3 a few weeks ago and the suspension needs some love, bushing question

[the Scholar]

I joined the M3 club about 3 weeks ago and so far I love this car. The only thing I don't really care for is the suspension right now. One of the previous owners put on some H&R sport springs with the stock dampers, which is not my ideal setup but more importantly the bushings need to be replaced. I priced out new bushings from Bimmerworld, which I thought was not terribly priced. I haven't purchased anything yet but I am looking at new rear subframe bushings, front control arm bushings and rear trailing arm toe bushings. All are the Powerflex urethane bushings and I was also looking at getting some new Ground control upper rear shock mounts as I hear some sounds coming from both the front and rear of the car over big bumps. I was looking at new front strut mounts but will most likely get those at another time along with new dampers or a decent coilover set when funds are a little stronger.

My question is, are there any other bushings that I have over looked that will most likely need to be replaced? Also, how long of a job is it to change these out myself? I did the front control arm bushings on my Focus SVT a couple years ago and it was a pain because I had to burn the old ones out. Do any of the new bushings need to be pressed in? I know the front control arm bushings have the option to order them prepressed into the mounts, which I would get as I have no access to a shop anymore, but do the others need to be pressed in?

Subframe bushings on a 99 would not be a top priority, plus it is a big job. The LCAB and RTAB are common problems, as are the rear shock mounts (RSM). Poly are fine for the performance enthusiast, but the average person is probably happier with new stock parts (I use Powerflex LCAB, RTAB and subframe bushings). The H&R Sports are fine springs -- I have driven 20k miles on a set, but probably don't mate well to tired stock shocks and struts. This could be part of the not caring for the suspension problem. You might want to put a set of Konis higher on your priority list. The front strut mounts may well be fine, but possibly could use repacking. Swaybar links can be a problem with age and mileage. Fresh tranny mounts are probably a good idea and UUC makes black poly ones with reinforcer cups that work well.
