Just done this and the tensioner on my 2007 Z4 coupe N52 - along with the oil cooler/housing gaskets (removing the housing allowed the access space) The balancer was £450 from BMW!! Found it much easier to do the balancer from below. Great informative video cheers 👍

Great video! On the front of the pulley in the center metal section, there are two cutaways on the outer rim. Does the positioning of these matter when fitting the new part? I just replaced mine and when I'd bolted it up I realised they were at a slight different rotation to where the original pulley was

I don`t think so, most likely those cuts are for balancing

Try this, hold one of the e bolts in the tightened position whilst trying to slacken another using a quick whack of the hammer on a socket extension! Or how about Holding the flywheel via inspection hatch if it has one like E46 or remove starter to jam up flywheel

You need to remove the radiator fan which is very simple - one connector plug, one Torx screw and then release the clip on the RHS when facing the front of the vehicle. This provides much more space.

So my question is what do I do now?
