No, the bushes were not causing the issue. Apparently in the early production car some of the sway bar bushes were installed upside down. So they are doing a campaign to replace them. It is a separate and unrelated issue to the noise in the rear.
I would be surprised if BMW would do a recall on the cars. Reputationally that would be tough for them. I suspect they will fix it on a case by car basis.
I will be sure to print out this thread and take it to my dealer tomorrow.
Appreciate the information exchange guys - thanks !
