Rear Drop Link Bushes Failed After Just 18000 miles

If anyone is hearing a knocking noise coming from the rear over low speed lumps and bumps, have your rear drop link bushes checked.  Mine have gone after just 18000 miles... Warranty picking it up.

With the last three used BMWs I've bought (at 2-4 yrs old), I always change the anti-roll bar links.  They take a real beating on a car with sporting suspension and soon clonk.  Ten minute job to change them anyway.  Whilst the M Coupe's were 35k old, the M135's were only 25k.  Almost a service item.
