It's not clear to me but is selective replication working in BDR? Does
anyone have any examples if so?
Yes, selective replication (using replication sets) is supported in the current 0.9 stable series.
The documentation on replication sets is very sparse at the moment; the next iteration will improve that.

Note that selective replication affects *only* replication of rows. DDL is still replicated on tables that are not members of any active replication set. Also, changing replication set memberships won't synchronise the added table's rows from other nodes, it'll just start replicating new changes from its current state. You generally want to set up replication sets before starting to add data to tables.
All this applies to 0.9.0 and is, of course, subject to change in future releases, time and resources permitting.
