Hi thanks for the video. But at 21:21 that’s not suppose to happen if done right. The bearing had already split and ruined the new part. Most probably why it looked too tight when you tried to rotate it a few times afterwards. The hub and bearing assembly should be driven to the shaft by pushing evenly at the inner race only which directly contacts the shaft, not by pushing/hammering at the hub. Hope this helps next time!
I want to thank you because of this comment, along with this video and another video from another bimmer RUclips channel for pointing this out! Makes the job a lot easier
Too late now. Even Nathans BMW failed at installing a new hub on his e46 tutorial :D welp too late I f*ucked my front right bearing with that 46 socket. It has a tight spot when turning. At least I did the left one correctly.

You rock. perfect step by step. im tackling a caliper replacement and figured id do this too. thanks for the video.
How many miles do you have on your z3 On this video ?
I don’t remember. It’s been a while since I made that video, but if I had to guess I’d say it had around 175,000-180,000 miles when I made that video.
This is a wrong install! 21:21 .. got the install wrong see comment by Winterever below. If you do what this guy does you will ruin your bearing !

That's one leaky Z. Looks like your next DIY should be the oil pan gasket.
It was the oil filter adapter gasket that was leaking all of that oil. It has been fixed. Thanks for watching.
