Replaced the left front wheel bearing on my 2008 550i four times. Still coming up with noise when I turn right and just driving. Any ideas. 
 

thanks Dieter

Morning Dieter

Welcome to the Forum

Have you checked all four bearings ? I would start there. Drive shafts checked ? Disc seated properly 

If all the above has been done has there been any damage to the Hub itself on that side

Checked all that. It’s rear wheel drive. I can feel it in the steering wheel whenever I turn right. When going left no noise or vibration. Not sure if it’s possible to get 4 bad bearings in a row. Thanks for the help.

I know the 550i is rear drive but I have repaired a 330i that had similar issues and the culprit was a rear wheel bearing. The owner had replaced both front bearings and still had the symptoms. I have also seen a cracked front hub which gave similar symptoms to a failed bearing

When you replaced them were they shot?

      Air bag fault

      Good morning Dave Thank you for your response. I did have some work done but none was in the steering wheel or instrument cluster. I do have an airbag code 09 "Side airbag, front right" on that I have not managed to clear out yet. I did clear the fault codes 2-3 times which it did remove most of the fault codes apart from 3, 09 Side air bag, front right 28 thermal sensor for oillevel defect - BTW my vehicle does not have a oil thermal sensor 94 LED for anti-theft alarm system open circuit - BTW the red light that is on the top of the dash has never been ON.

      Air bag fault

      Morning Dimitris First the battery is in good condition ? I spoke to a friend who works for BMW in the USA he tells me that this code is often riggered when work is carried out on orther components such as Steering Wheel or the Instrument cluster. He sent me the attached hope it helps BMW_Airbag_Failure_Codes.pdf
