He probably just mistook it as Technical & Discussion.

Why is this in the m3 technical section?

[der affe]

It is a howl or a drone that is rpm depenent. I drove on mine for several years making noise without any failures. I finally replaced them just because I figured I could only push them so long.

You don't need to do them in pairs though, you can just replace the one that is bad. I just did both because my 325i was at close to 200k.

Ok Guys

If my rear wheel bearings were shot, does anyone know what the circumstances would be. Is there some warning signs? Noises of some type? Slight vibration? If you have'nt experienced this situation, do not reply..
Thanks Barry
