I need to replace the front wheel bearings/hub assemblies on my 3.0i Z4. Can anyone recommend an affordable and good quality alternative to the original BMW ones? Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Just go for a good brand, i bought i think Febi, does the job.
But removing the old i remember a bit of knack getting the bolts out.

FAG or SKF…my cheapo local garage only uses these as too many things happen with cheapo bearings..

E85 guy had his Febi bearings fail in short order FWIW
 
Got to admit i always seek SKF when in past replacing bearings.
I had some Indian ones fitted on car via friends mot station, lasted 2 days, ended up buying some SKF and fitting myself.
 
I fitted the bearings in error to try and cure left wheel tilt problem when push pulled vertically.
Turned out it was the shock mount bearing in the top mount had worn out.
Wheel could be tilted a couple of mm.
