Hi, I recently purchased a 2000 300M and after awhile I started to hear a noise that sounded as if the engine was working too hard, and I first I thought it was the transmission. I took it in and apparently it is the ball bearings. It was only going to be around $350 to have them replaced, but I did not have the money at the time, and still don't. Problem is that I have to drive about 300 miles a week due to my job, and the noise is getting worse. What is going to happen if I continue to delay getting this done? It has been about 2 months that I was told I needed to do this and expect that I should be able to get the work done around the 1st of November. Until then, is it okay to keep driving my car?
