I’d replace the Oil Filter Housing Gaskets at the same time as they require loss of coolant to do the work. I am also replacing thenSerpentine belt, idlers & tensioner. (See below).
I have a 335is cabrio. There are an extra 4 braces that supposedly help quell scuttle shake (only partially successfully). They run from the rocker area immediately behind the jack point to the center of the front crossmember w/ 4 bolts each and a pair of tubular steel formed braces that run from the front center of the front crossmember to the “frame rails” to the fender support immediately forward of the strut towers.
Taking those out was a pain in the butt, but I could see no way to get at the upper mounting bolt for the pump. Also have to be removed to replace the serpentine belt & idlers. I’m doing it all (ugh).
