Thanks for the write up. A couple of things that help me: The o-rings are metric size 24x3. Any decent auto parts store should carry a set of metric o-rings with this size. Should be cheaper and easier than ordering from bmw. Also helpful to know if your local BMW dealer has the gasket but not the bush or o-rings in stock. I didn't detach the power steering pump from the large bracket that it and the alternator mount on. I just removed the 5 bolts (4 into the block + 1 pivot) and moved the assembly (bracket, pump, and tensioner) out of the way enough to get to the 6 bolts holding the filter housing on. That made things go a little more quickly. __________________ Josh |
