I knew the end piece was for dampening but assumed that it doubled as a mount since it connects through the subframe itself.
EDIT 2: Looking at Real OEM paints a different picture. It appears the vibration damper is attached to the rear of the actual rear diff MOUNT which there is only 1. Since it indeed has a normal rubber mounting, and only one at that - having a second one would certainly help. Sorry for the poor photoshop my red line goes to the wrong bush in the pic  |
Interestingly, BMW use exactly the same part on the M3 and M4, including the M4 GT4. The latter example suggests it's not a major issue in racing conditions. The GT4 does use different suspension components though.
