GSA LC front wheel bearings

I just changed the front bearings and seals as a precaution. I bought original FAG bearings and good quality seals from simply bearings. They were cheaper than from bmw and came the next day.
As a point to note when I changed the bearings, one was fine but the other ran rough. When I popped the seal out of the bearing it had water inside and some water.
I never use a pressure washer so can only assume the slight wear had allowed water past the seal.
My bike has covered 20k miles.

It’s not good really is it???....20k miles. Not sure how long mine have been ropey to be fair. Picked up last week on first mot. Anyway, getting done under warranty and I’ve located good quality spares for the inevitable next time.
