Wednesday I went to the dealership, the car stood outside in the parking lot, I was told it is a wheel bearing, they were very vague about it and said they have to get Authorization from BMW South-Africa to replace it, apparently need to take videos then BMW South-Africa advice them what to do, I told them yesterday that I need a vehicle for this weekend.
This morning (Thursday) I went there again, the car was on the lift with the wheel removed, again, very vague about it, and said because its a M (Yes I know its not a real M) they need Authorization from BMW South-Africa. I told them again that I need a vehicle for this weekend, the SA said something about the car is still drivable, but I obviously don't feel safe driving a vehicle with a failing wheel bearing (If that is even the issue). He was supposed to give me feedback by 13:00, its now after 16:00.
This is a very strange issue and my opinion is that BMW don't even know how to fix it...

After 1 week at the dealership they are changing both front discs and pads, lets see if that fixes the problem.
at least they gave me a courtesy vehicle to use in the meantime...
