-easy as in, like replacing a set of brake disc and pads?

I swapped the front hubs on my previous F32 when I was trying to chase a vibration issue.
The hubs and bearings are a single part and are separate to the front hubs. They are held on by 4 torx bolts.
Relatively easy to change. You just need the correct torx bit, I used a wobble extension as getting access from the back can be tricky.
Also be aware that the on some of the hubs the torx bolt type and thread pitch is different.

I'll get prepared for them then -and poss do a bit more research!

And they could hear the noise when they road tested it,they had plugged in a diagnostics and it returned no faults.Also they had the car up on the lift and was driving it whilst the front wheels were stopped and there was no noise,so was found out to be a passenger side wheel bearing,I also had the gearbox oil service done using a genuine zf kit,when they opened the sump up all was good and the magnets had no filings on them.

Hi Andy

I’ve the same problem since brand new from what sounds like passenger side front, BMW after 8th visit saying it’s a characteristic of the car!!

Basically sounds like Droning d d d d d d d! Doing my nut in, between 60-72 more prominent, past that and quiet, sometime hear it on low speeds!

Had donor wheels and still the same, no different, tried pretty much everything.

Was your noise similar? I’m aiming to go back again next week and stamp my feet 😡
