Apparently AutoZone sells front wheel bearings for e30's boxed as "Timkin" brand parts. But apparently these bearings have FAG inscribed on them (OEM). Anyone have any experience? They are $90 vs. $130+ for anywhere else. I read a thread from a few months ago on another forum that said they have a lifetime warranty, but their site currently only shows 1 year.

FWIW, Timken bearings are in the planes that I work on (Cessnas, Pipers and whatnot).

I just installed the Timken bearing last night. It had FAG printed on the inner race. Came with a 1 year warranty, and cost $94.99 plus tax. Installed flawlessly and the car is back on the road.
That was the easiest wheel bearing job I've ever done. Less then an hour from the time I pulled in the garage to the time I left. The whole bearing/hub came out by hand without leaving the inner race behind. New one pressed right in.
I had to buy a $20 36mm from autozone and grind it down to fit, but that's no big deal.
