I have my E53 3.0 front drivetrain apart right now replacing the front subframe, oil pan gasket and the right axle. I was not planning on replacing the bracket w/bearing at this point, though might consider it.

Good catch, I just looked at RealOEM and saw “discontinued “… I guess FCP et al are working off stock?
Not sure how often those bearings fail, but it could be good insurance to just replace it “as long as you are in there”. I now wish I would have when I swapped the motor. I didn’t realize it had a bearing in it at that time.
