What you need to know

This page is limited to common non-M applications supported by the checked kits. The bearing is 33412220987, with circlip 33411138648.

OEM numbers

Rear wheel bearing kit commonly includes bearing 33412220987, circlip 33411138648, and M24x1.5 axle nut 33411132565 for many E36 non-M/E46 non-M/Z4 applications. Hub/axle details vary by model, M vs non-M, and compact/wagon variants.

Supersession

No single chassis-wide supersession. Use bearing 33412220987 kit path for common non-M E36/E46 applications, with circlip and axle nut as required service parts. M cars and certain body styles need separate catalog verification.

Fitment

This page is limited to common non-M applications supported by the checked kits. The bearing is 33412220987, with circlip 33411138648. BimmerWorld includes M24 axle nut 33411132565 for the smaller 31 mm axle; a larger 38 mm axle needs M27 nut 33411133785. M cars and unlisted body/axle variants are excluded unless VIN-confirmed.

Aftermarket options

Checked OEM-supplier FAG bearing paths from BimmerWorld and FCP Euro. BimmerWorld complete kit includes bearing, circlip and M24 nut; verify axle diameter because the bearing may fit while the supplied nut does not. A press/extraction tool and corrosion planning are part of the job.

Before you buy

Common non-M applications only; M cars and unlisted variants require VIN confirmation. Verify 31 mm versus 38 mm axle/nut size. Replace the circlip and correct one-time axle nut, and plan for press/extraction labor. Rear bearing dimensions and fitment differ across chassis, M/non-M, 330, compact, and axle/hub configurations. The BimmerBum kit is one side and explicitly excludes some applications; verify VIN and dimensions.
