Original BMW Front Wheel Bearing Lock Ring for BMW 3 Series and 5 Series xi/xDrive, X3, and X5 (2000–2013)

Holding the front wheel bearing in its hub, this Original BMW lock ring is the circlip used on all-wheel-drive BMW 3 Series and 5 Series xi and xDrive models, the X3, and the X5 from 2000–2013. It seats in a groove and stops the bearing from backing out of the hub. BMW sizes it as 90X3 and specifies a weight of 35 grams. It is made in Germany.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Over time this circlip corrodes in its groove, and a corroded ring usually gets damaged when it is removed. For that reason, plan on a new ring every time a front wheel bearing comes out. You need one ring per bearing, so a two-sided bearing job takes two. BMW has supplied this part since March 2000 production. It is shared across a wide range of all-wheel-drive chassis: the E90 sedan, E91 wagon, and E92 coupe, the E60 sedan and E61 wagon, the E83 X3, and the E53 X5. That covers both pre-facelift and facelift cars.

Common Questions

Should I reuse the old circlip when replacing a wheel bearing?
Replace it. Corrosion usually damages the old ring as it comes out of the groove.

How many do I need?
You need one per front wheel bearing, so order two if you are doing both sides.
