Did the job. Some lessons learnt

1) Had to borrow a massive torque wrench to undo 46mm nut and eventually tighten to 215ft/lbs
2) Don't get cheap hubs (I had to send the £30 one back). If BMW consider brands like FAG (OEM) or Febi Bilstein. The difference in quality is vast and it's your life that you need to consider.
3) Dremel type tool comes in handy to cut out the nut locking tab.
4) Replace both the 46mm nut and the dust cap (only cost a few £)

Seemed to improve the wheel wobble situation. Going to Dial Indicator the other side brake discs and hub, may replace. BMWs are quite sensitive to wheel balancing, so will prob get both fronts balanced for the small cost.
