Hi guys
i have a 2012 20d F25 bought 6 months ago and have a noise that sounds like rear wheel bearing. i have changed the left bearing as sound seemed that side but no difference. about to change right side(when weather lets me).i am not a mechanic but try do all my own repairs to keep costs down and mind active, but wondering can it be the rear diff or prop bearing? i have a e70 x5 that i am about to sell as just spent £3700 on a rear diff on that. had a 6 month warranty from garage but would not honour a wheel bearing as they say wear and tear. and dont want to explain to wife got another car with more expense
any help please st.helens area

It could be tyres, Ive has this sound on my E70 and it's always been tyres

for reference for others it was other side wheel bearing all sorted now.

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for the update.

Always hard to pinpoint a wheel bearing from inside the car, you need it jacked up and spin them.
The e70 rear diff failure is common now, mine went last year and I've seen a few for sale locally needing a diff.
