It's not like doing it now might cause you to spend a bunch of extra money performing this service too frequently. You made it 82K miles, so whether you do it now or a bit later, chances are you'll never have to do it again. Sorry I can't help with a DIY though.
I replaced both of my front wheel bearings after 26K miles -- but that included about 18 track days.

i just got the car used a few weeks ago, and if memory serves the sound started relatively soon after i got it home from the dealer. i dont remember hearing it on the drive back.
considering it's 82k and literally nothing else is wrong with it (the inspection i mentioned found zero ghost codes or leaks), i'd be glad to spend $500 to get it in shape
on the flipside, i might be a pioneer and make the first video walkthrough of an e9x rear wheel bearing replacement......or i might spend 9 hours messing stuff up
anyway here's an updated video of the sound
