[coley20]

Does anybody have an idea of long it takes a garage to change a wheel bearing on an e39 530d?

An hour tops. Rear nearside?

Don't know if there's anything specific to the BMW, but I'd have thought an hour at the least would be typical.

I did mine in about 2 hours, but then I'm a bit "James May" and line up my tools after each use...
