Front wheel bearings

[O'Neill]

OEM make but not from BMW, has anyone used them?, the eurocarparts ones or equivalent.

I've been advised to buy from BMW, nearly twice the price though, which if they are a better quality I don't mind.

Grumbling at 70/80 mph once warm, louder when changing lanes/moving to the right on the motorway.

FAG is Deffo oem,don't think euro car parts have that make,but they do supply Lucas ones at half the price and even less with the discount code.Let me know if you want the code Barry and I'll dig it out from my e-mails.

Just had a look on ECP Barry and the Lucas ones are about £90 inc vat and delivery,with the discount code,which I can let you have for 50 notes.:smokin:

Febi-Bilstein are the usual OE make, bought some from ECP last year for my M Coupe.

FAG just make bearings but don't make the hub assembly afaik, so Febi-Bilstein will usually use FAG or SKF bearings etc.

There never gonna be cheap for the fronts as they come with the hub,I'm guessing the rears are half that price or less.
