BMW control arm premature wear

My other sports car is a BMW 550i, MY2007, 45 days out of factory warranty and has 31k on the odometer. My CPO warranty doesn't cover wear items like bushings.

The dealer might be full of crap and just trying to make money off me, but my SA tells me the control arms up front have cracked bushings... at 37 months and 31,000 miles! He quoted $850 to remove and press in new bushings and align the car, which isn't in my budget for the next year, actually.

Have any of you other BMW owners experienced this sort of quick wear on your cars?

.... and I thought my lower front control arms on the boxster went out frequently, even though I don't track the car.
