Appreciate it ! Realized when I picked up a t60 and was test fitting so I turned the wheel . I’ll just put the whole front end up so o can turn it.
In case it helps anyone .. there are two roundabouts in my neighborhood that I always take the racing line over . A month ago I went a bit further and went around the 3rd roundabout (that I literally never have gone around) and there was a half curb in the middle that I bumped pretty good. I turned the wheel so it wouldn’t hit an edge and hit straight on. I keep my tires at 40 psi up front. After the slight impact I started to feel a very slight vibration like a bent wheel. But, my wheel was fine and showed no dents etc. at about 80-100 mph when smoothly leaning the car side to side when the front left unloaded the steering wheel got a slight jiggle. Over the past week or so there has been pronounced tire roar like noise and humming when slowing down. Today when I was about to take the bearing out i did spin it and could feel the roughness in the bearing so pretty sure it’s shot. Figured I’d share my symptoms and incident |

Thanks for the DIY.
Prick sold me the car with bad wheel bearing claiming it was tire noise so I’ll be doing this as soon as the parts arrive For anyone doing this in the future, BMW updated the hubs+bolts which now use Torx TP 60. You will need to use the regular T60 to remove bolts if you have the oem hub from like mid 2016 and earlier. |

Noticed it when swapping from winters this spring so something must have happened end of last year. Didnt notice it on my old EC7s though. At first I thought it was my caliper somehow scraping on the barrel but after inspection I found that not to be the case. You could be onto something with it being wheel bearings. I forgot to tell you but during the LRP event we both ran in May, I noticed every F8x car including M2s have a whistling like noise coming from them when making the left hander, including yours. It's something I've never heard from any of these cars in the past at this turn, however, but I did find it strange that about four cars were doing it. Other gen M cars were not doing it which made me think back to what Shadow has said multiple times about the bearings going on these cars. I didn't do any viewing/listening at that turn this past week unfortunately. Last edited by MaX PL; 06-26-2022 at 04:01 PM.. |

I recently replaced my front rotors and promptly stripped all the rotor retaining bolts, so I had to drill them out…. Two weeks later I mounted my winter wheels/tires and I have a hub noise coming from the front driver's side. I think the next logical step would be hub replacements. Thank you in advance for the great DIY GuyLedouche! I'll be utilizing it very soon

I used this DIY to change both front wheel bearings on my car. It was so clear and saved me so much time. Really helpful post was showing how you may need a TP 60 bit instead of a T60 bit. I had all the tools I needed to do the job. Thanks again.

How often do these go out? One or both are at 63k and clicking while cornering and see videos. 4 track days total...that I know of

Gotta dig this up for my F87 crew. Epic thread and went by the book... but stripped both rotor retaining bolts on the left front and gave up. Why BMW put two of these demonic little things on the rotors, I do not understand.
I have new rotors, pads, bolts, hub assemblies to go on anyway...so... Instead of screwing around drilling etc, wouldn't it just be easier for me to tear out the hub bolts from the back of the carrier and wouldn't that cause the entire old rotor and hub assembly to just fall out? The front hub/rotor assembly seems like a really easy design to work on... Any advice?? |

Any way to get inside the hub (part where you screw studs into)? I broke a stud off in the hub and as I was trying to drill a pilot hole to screw it out, it fell into the wheel hub and is rattling around in there. Lovely.
