nope. there may be a few different ones, but it depends on the size of the hex nut/bolt on the pully i believe. it isnt hard to determine. the autoparts store guy will know. its prob like a 5/16

I will let you know. I will post tomorrow price and availability just in case if anyone else is interested. I have another quick question if you don't mind. My voice system stopped completely working. Do you have an idea of what it may be?

My Ride: e60
just replaced my tensioner this past weekend
was a quick replacement
:l
except that i was given the wrong part... kinda
one i ordered from bmwpartsonly.com was similar to the one i got from an auto parts store (autozone)
but the guy there found a more correct, looking, replacement to the one i received in the mail
not sure what the deal with it was, since both the site and autozone were giving me the same item
...
i suggest stuffing something under into ur engine to prevent dropping any parts and having to take off the bottom plates like i had to
also
watch ur knuckles
(if u plan on not taking off the whole front clip to do this
was a quick replacement
