Find the correct size lag bolt (5/8 I think) and screw or up into the remaining material from underneath, then drive it out with a drift from inside the car.
You will have it out in minutes with this method, rather than banging and chiseling away at it.

Get yourself a dremel, a 16oz ball peen hammer and a cold chisel.
Use the dremel to cut a slot into one side and then the other of the broken off piece of bushing. Then with the cold chisel hammer then remainder out. It will take about 20 minutes a side with the right bit.
Its what I had to do to get it out.1990 BMW 325is 5spd Black

A pencil grinder would do wonders, but I ended up using a chisel to chip it away until I could pull the last bit out.
Ironically, both bushings came out intact on my iX, which is rusty as hell.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
