I decided to acquire the very expensive, but hopefully also very useful, BMW tool (312240) to pop out control arms and tie rods on my E39 without destroying them or swearing up a storm.
Here a picture of it:

If anyone ever needs this tool, just let me know. I will gladly lend it, in exchange for a very small fee The tool is meant for E39, E38, E52 and E53. Don't know if other models can benefit from it also.
