31 21 2 225 362 is the hub with bearing (not cheap!). Afaik, you can't get just the bearing as its an all in one unit with the hub.

You can use E28 hubs - think I paid £35 for an E28 hub, although I'd suggest not going for the cheapest. They are a straight swap on to the M3 strut, but the abs rings differ - you can fit the E30 ring onto the E28 hub with a gear puller and some patience.

I'll dig out which ones I used. I got mine from a local auto factors, but only got one cheap one as I wasn't sure if it would work. When its time to change I'll get a better quality one.

Sorry, didn't keep a record of the number, but all E28 hubs are the same.

When I swapped mine, you could get a cheap hub for about £35, but I'd suggest getting the slightly better quality ones - probably a little more than the £70 they were in 2010, but still cheaper than M3 hubs!

Here's mine with the swapped abs ring... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... hlight=hub
