most noise at about 40mph less at highway speed
vibration noise, "pump" "pump" "pump" "pump" from front of car more noticeable with window closed then opened. No vibration in searing wheel, Not much difference when turing.

BACKROUND:
replaced front bearings at 122K, 167K at present - that makes only 45k on new bearing - BUT - I did them myself with Harbor Freight tools, (unfortunately I always doubt/suspect my work first).
New tires 1 year ago, 150K
New shocks/struts 150K
New brakes/rotors 160k

(dumb part) - I never got the car aligned after new tires and shocks

(confusing part) - I rotated the tires, back to front (yes, I know we are not supposed to rotate X5 tires) and I thought the noise was stronger. Noticed only one tire had 1 "glue on" balance weight on inside and I can't remember if they were all removed when I got the new tires when they added the hammer on weights on the inside of the rims.

I want to think I "cupped" my tires because my alignment is off, I was hoping when I put the rear tires on the front it would go away not get more noticeable. I fear its a bearing, but tire change shouldn't make a difference and Its not a steady "growl" like when my rear bearing failed (under warranty).
