SEARCH turned up old posts, was pretty sure I had replied to this question before.

The tii front wheel bearings are not a BMW-specific part, they are available most anywhere as standard sets of cup/cone bearings.

Standard bearings have numbers for a matched pair of cup & cone.

The two numbers for inner cup & cone on a tii front hub = SET #6, and the outer = SET#2. No matter what brand & part number is on the box, somewhere the box should say S6 or A6 or SET 6 for the correct inner, likewise the outer will state "S2" etc..

These are the same fitment as used on diverse applications as: all 80-83 Ferrari, lots of Ford (inc. some Mustang, Falcon, early Truck/Van), many Chryslers.

The bearings themselves will have the LMXXXXX series numbers on them.

set 6 details (inner tii)

LM67048 / LM67010

Cone bore=31.750 (1.2500")

Cup OD=59.131 (2.3280")

36.5 kN load rating

set 2 details (outer tii)

LM11949 / LM11910

Cone bore=19.050 mm (0.750")

Cup OD=45.237 (1.7810")

30.6 kN

The seal is available, just not quite as generic as the standard bearings listed above.

They can look it up by application, but the size should be 45x62x7 and some typical aftermarket part numbers could be 71-550154

Try your local bearing specialist. Just brought some locally, once we had got past the concept the 2002 was the model and not the year it was a question of do you want them for a 2002, 2002tii or 2002 turbo?, He had them in the next morning.

What was interresting is the kit had for VW / Audi on it. Makes me suspect that somewhere there are some VW / Audi hubs which bolt straight on to a 2002.

Regular 2002 front wheel bearings are the same as a lot of VW rear sets.

Same deal, where the sets are "standard" combinations of certain common cups & cones.

The outer cup/cone set for the regular 02 is known as SET #1, that's how common it is.

The inner cup/cone set for the regular 02 is known as SET #15 (or SET #8 if SKF, Timken, or CR brand, same exact size.)

If you go in a store and ask for a bearing for a BMW, they might try to charge you more than if you asked for a plainer-sounding SET #1.

The rear wheels on almost every 1975 thru 1991 Volkswagen and Audi Coupe,Fox, 80,90, 100, 4000, 5000 use the same two bearing sets.

The VW/Audi hubs won't fit on your 2002, there is more to it than just the bearing sizes. Like the "hub" is often part of the rear brake drum on the VW, or the distance between the inner & outer likely won't match a BMW spindle.

You're right of course, still after working with German engineers, it wouldn't surprise me if there is a DIN standard "DIN XYZXX - Spindle sizes for passenger vehicles" :-)
