    Default My BMW's a BMW Again!

    I was getting used to the idea that my 16 year old 525 was going to sound it's age. What I believed to be differntial noise, wheel bearing noise, suspension noise and tire noise went away today. I had the right rear wheel bearing replced today and VOILA! I can't believe the difference. The bearing was probably creating the wheel noise ans well as it's own noise, but things are back to the way I thought they should be.

    Next projects are the timing belt and valve job, then onto the rest of the suspension as well as a sachs kit. Heck I might as well buy the EAT chip I was putting off because of the other problems I thought I had.
