Thanks andrewwynn, I will get that bearing so I can then sell the thing. I paid $75 on ebay, I am guessing it is the same one, same factory in China?
Mine was an issue of thinness, likely the China factory does not have a micrometer to test thickness their manufacturing process so mine got shipped out of spec. Since it hit the edge of the ball joint on the exit, it just pushed against itself until brearing broke with my long wratchet. BMW could have made extra space like every other car so you could just use a generic press. I lubed mine with grease, luckily it held up, rented a press from Oreilly's to get it pushed in.
