A bit late to help you after the event, but a quick Google shows this is a common failure after fitting updated dampers, and that E46 M3 mounts are used as a reasonable cost upgrade.
Powerflex sell an upgraded polybush replacement, though they're £85 a pair

Bimmerworld does a far more reasonable alternative pair with a lifetime guarantee for under 26 quid
