Thanks for the help so far everyone.
NORMAL.

Those trailing arm bushings are not the most durable parts BMW has ever made/designed. In fact, it's been problematic since the 1980s and on the E9Xes BMW ditched the trailing arms. What you are seeing, is the damage from the removal process, without the proper tools the best way to remove the trailing arm bushings is to cut them up and push them out destroyed like that.
