Hi I'm trying to change the rear wheels bearings and I've a problem. The bearings that I took out measure 75mm large, 34mm width and 42mm inner.
I check shops and they only have with 37mm width.........
Any help to find this kind of bearings with 34mm??
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Maybe find a different shop?! Online? Or get them directly from BMW?

You need to put your VIN into Real OEM and pick up a part number from there or input your vin into Autodoc to find the correct item.

There are 2 bearing sizes for the E30 but both are 37mm width
(outer x inner x width)

75 x 42 x 37 (large)
72 x 39 x 37 (small)

You are either measuring wrong or someone has put the wrong bearing in
