BMW 535i Front Wheel Hub Replacement DIY (2010-2016 BMW F10 535i, 550i, 528i, 535d)

►The bearing pressed onto the wheel hub is entirely responsible for the smooth rotation of the wheel assembly. Like any bearing, they'll wear down over time and eventually need replacement. Luckily, replacing the front wheel hub on a BMW F10 is very straightforward, requiring only a few tools and a couple of sockets.
When the bearing fails, it'll begin to sound and feel bad. At highway speeds, you'll notice a loud hum or howl coming from the affected wheel and possibly a heavy vibration or shake. Unlike older cars, the wheel hub unbolts from the BMW knuckle, so replacement is a snap with the proper instructions guiding you.
Follow along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he replaces the front wheel hub on a BMW F10 535i.

BFH is my most often used tool. The courtesy of a reach around is always appreciated.

One video for the rear bearing would be awesome!

[@EliGaffke]

It's not much different, but it would be nice. That's what I have been fighting all weekend.

Hey Mike, great video! I have a F10 545d 95k miles and suspecting maybe a bad front left wheel bearing. My F10 has been sitting for about 3 years and i'm getting it back on the road. i just got new Formula F rotors and akebono ceramic pads from you guys. The issue is when driving theres a mild ticking coming from the front left (in sync with wheel rotation) and when i brake, its very pronounced, sound l like someone tapping on something. I took the wheel off this morning and can't hear or feel anything clicky when rotating the rotor. i thought it might have been paint on the rotor (i wiped the Z coat, and painted the hat and outer edges with high temp paint, to avoid future rust), but there wasnt enough paint to make noise, and the friction surfaces, inside and out, looked smooth and shiny. i'll check run-out of the rotor and hub next to rule out a bent hub or a crooked or bent rotor, but by eye the rotor looked true when i rotated it. but the weird thing is, it seemed very difficult to rotate the rotor, even with the wheel on. i dont think i could have made the wheel spin freely. when i tried to spin it, it just stops. i suppose the brake could be dragging, but it all feels normal while driving aside from the tapping sound. i just wanted to know if stiffness is normal in wheel rotation - due to big wheels, new pads, a dragging pad (none of which account for the tapping noise). or would a bad wheel bearing be on the suspect list for both issues?

In the process of doing this too my f30 plus struts and knuckles

Great video, thanks 👍🏻! Will the procedure for the rear bearings be somewhat the same?

[@eduardocouto8757]

Can you guys please do a video for rear wheel bearings for e9x m3

[@kennethbascom5023]

What does this job cost to do for a 2018 x4 m40i

[@stechmer1]

Any idea if it's the same for 750li?
