Timken 513210 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly - Front

Timken 513210 Front Wheel Hub Assembly

The Timken 513210 wheel bearing and hub assembly is built for front-end service on select BMW applications, including 2004-2010 BMW 525i, 530i, 545i, 528i, 535i, 550i, 645Ci, 650i, and 535i GT models. It is engineered for non-driven front positions and focuses on smooth rotation, stable braking feel, and reduced noise.

Key Features

• OE-developed testing helps control design, materials, and manufacturing process
• Low runout supports reduced noise and vibration at the wheel
• Premium seals use reinforced construction and contamination exclusion features
• Precision-profile bearings with uniform internal geometry improve load handling
• Enhanced surface finishes support longer bearing life and improved efficiency
• ABS sensor is 100% tested for wheel speed monitoring
• Fits front, non-driven applications on select BMW 525i, 530i, 545i, 528i, 535i, 550i, 645Ci, 650i, and 535i GT models

Detailed Description

Timken 513210 is a front wheel bearing and hub assembly for select BMW vehicles, including 2004-2007 BMW 525i and 530i, 2004-2005 BMW 545i and 645Ci, 2006-2010 BMW 550i and 650i, 2008-2010 BMW 528i and 535i, and 2010 BMW 535i GT. The assembly uses a 5-stud wheel pattern, 4 flange bolt holes, a 118.50 mm bolt circle diameter, a 143.00 mm flange diameter, and a 90.00 mm hub pilot diameter. Timken also specifies a 72.60 mm wheel pilot diameter and a 79.00 mm brake pilot diameter for proper fitment on the hub interface.

This part cross-references SKF BR930396 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn BMW front hub bearing assembly, Timken 513210 provides a direct-fit service part for the listed front positions and supports consistent wheel-speed signal performance through its tested ABS sensor.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Front wheel bearing noise, humming, or growling
• Wheel play or looseness at the hub
• Brake pulsation or uneven braking feel related to hub runout
• ABS warning light caused by wheel-speed sensor issues
• Vibration from a worn or out-of-spec front hub assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front non-driven position before installation. Confirm the hub pilot diameter, bolt circle diameter, and wheel stud pattern match the original setup on the BMW 525i, 530i, 545i, 528i, 535i, 550i, 645Ci, 650i, or 535i GT. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect adjacent brake and suspension components for wear before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Timken uses OE-developed testing to control the design, materials, and manufacturing process of its hub bearing assemblies. The bearing design, seal construction, and ABS sensor testing are all focused on consistent performance, contamination resistance, and reliable wheel-speed monitoring.
