Top tip with the pulleys though, if you have to remove the alternator, you will need to take the pulley off. The pulley is in the way.

You're talking about pulling the alternator after they're installed?

Yes. Just as a heads up. I went to change my oil filter housing gasket and when I got to the alternator I started undoing the bolts and sure enough I had to back track and slip on the drive belt so I could loosen the bolts on the PS pulley and then remove the belt and so on and so forth...just make a mental note if you need to take it out.

Noob question: why will the steering feel be different?

Bigger pulley means the outside is spinning the same speed as before, but since the pulley has a larger radius the center is spinning slower. This takes some of the help from the power steering pump and increases the feel of turning the steering wheel. Makes it heavier so to speak.

Gotcha. Didn't realize there was any difference in steering feel from it. I've looked into under drive pulleys a lot and never seen that mentioned.

I was going to tackle the passenger side today but the weather was not on my side.

BTW I got an OEM BMW regulator for $103
