Do you guys think my wheel bearing is done?

Makes a VERY subtle wob wob wob noise when driving despite alignment. Also When braking or when the car slows down, I hear this grinding noise, that at times is very loud..

Sounds like a wheel bearing. You should get it checked, and don't let it go too long. Good luck.

You may want to check your tires. When you posted wob wob wob you gave me a flashback. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...light=Run+flat

Not sure about the noise upon braking which may be rotors.

If it is not those items then I would check bearings.

Take two hair pin highway on or off ramps....one curving left the other right. If the sound doesn't go away in one of them (since you would be unloading one side of your car in each) it's not your wheel bearing

It could be a bad cv joint, control arm, or a hub ball joint. They could cause the similar sounds or wobble you're noticing.

Here's a Bentley PDF on how the front suspension is setup.
