F30 Wheel Bearing / Housing Replacement

[dino_rox]

Hi Guys , need some help
recently had a very ugly run in with a pavement
rim got damaged aswell and as result the wheel now sits on a negative camber
took it to Supa Quik they found they control arm was damaged ,
replaced the control arm and the wheel is still the same

took the car to Hi-Q last friday as they suspected a bent shock and could probably have it fixed , but turns out the shock is ok and the issue is the wheel bearing housing is bent / damaged

looking for a cheaper alternative than sending the car to BMW to have it fixed.

any suggestions ?

Hi,

just a word of caution, if it is on Motorplan you don't want questions asked when you go in for a service with pirate/second hand parts fitted.
Just my 5 cents worth.
Have you priced them yet, need a vin for accurate pricing but 320i is around R4500-00 new, remember to replace the bearing bolts.

Cheers

Hi, that is roughly the price of the original part excluding fitment. The forum might be able to shed light on different suppliers.
