BMW Repair/possible wheel bearing problem

Expert: - 4/9/2007


Question
My car is a  2001 BMW 300ci, it is making a lot of noise when driving, it seems to be coming from the front tires like a humming.
Your advise will be apreciated.


Answer
Sorry I clicked on the wrong icon.About your problem,it sounds like a wheel bearing.You can tell which side it is by driving the car and slightly turning the the wheel from side to side.Which ever side the noise gets louder that would be the bearing that needs replacement.
