Neenah/Appleton area. 3 hour drive for you mang.

ALSO, found out what the problem was on the E28 finally. WHEEL BEARING :(

$100 in parts. And of course, a super special tool ($400 tool) is needed to do the replacement... Awesome. Fuck me right.

$100 in parts? Do you know what Rock Auto is? Special tool? You mean a bearing press?

If its a front bearing buy it pre-pressed into the hub, rent a 3-jaw puller to remove it and use the axle nut to drive it back on.

If its a rear, then Auto Zone has Timken bearings for ~$54 each for BMWs. I spent about $9 worth of nuts, washers, and threaded rod to make my own tool to press the new bearing in.
