I need to do my rear wheel bearing on my 1995 BMW 320i and I looked on CarID and they have a kit, which comes with a new hub too, but it says it fits a 318is 325i and 325is. Will it fit my car? I believe it will but I want to make sure before I buy it.

RiPete, don't buy from carid. I don't see the 320i listed on the popular bmw online stores but as long as you have the bmw part # from realoem you should be good. Check prices at RMeuropean.com PelicanParts.com Rockauto.com

Here's some info. If those bearings have never been out then you're in for a tough job.
The labor time for one bearing is 3.9 hours with tools and it's well worth the investment to have a shop with the correct tooling to do the job.
Without the tools it's gonna take a while.

An American with a 320i?!?
Once you determine what parts to get consider buying, renting or borrowing a bearing kit like this. I used it to change mine and it worked like a charm, my bearing had been changed before though. https://www.harborfreight.com/front-...ers-63728.html
This'll work. The professional kits have an adapter attachment to pull the hub out, but smacking it from the inside with a BFH and large drift will knock it out with inner bearing race attached.
Everything gets ruined in the process, which is probably why the bearing comes, or should come, with the hub. Even with the hub attachment some of them are stuck in so tight that the hub gets deformed anyway.
See ya later,

Yes. I had to remove the entire driver's side control arm and take it to a shop to remove a stuck bearing. They were not able to remove it even with their tooling. Evidently, the previous owner welded the bearing into the control arm. J/K. So I had to buy a used control arm and install the new bearing in it.
