Old Codger Well-known member UKGSer Subscriber Joined Jul 29, 2006 Messages 1,725 Reaction score 38 Location Mid Hants May 3, 2012 #6 Yup I went with the OEM myself But at over £20 plus the Vodka and Tonic each you have to wonder if any of the bearing manufacturers have alternatives of the same spec With SKF and the specific part no so far I seem to have drawn a blank Looks like BWM have it sewn up may have been a special order from SKF Research continues

At least going OEM you know you have the right ones. If you want some of my vast inexperience fitting some I can help you mate.
