Hello, my e87 120d has this persistent noise from the front left wheel that's making me tear my hair out. It's a sort of amplified road noise coming specifically from the front left. Like driving down a concrete section of road.

The noise doesn't change in pitch or volume with speed or turning. It stays exactly the same no matter what. I'm struggling to get good audio of it. My phone doesn't seem to pick it up

I've jacked up the car and wiggled the tire at all angles, and there's nothing. it's solid. The tire has no cupping or uneven wear. The MOT mentioned some damage on that wheel, but it's just curb rash and no buckles.

It might be a wheel bearing, but I don't want to change them unnecessarily.

Has anyone experienced this as well?

Thanks
