It’s likely the Denso 7SEU, yes, but you’ll want to double check. Should be possible to just take a look at it and confirm. I’d also check RealOEM using your VIN and see if it’s the only P/N for your car.
Funny you should ask. I actually purchased the bearing to replace mine which is making a bit of noise. But, there is a refrigerant line that runs SMACK in the middle of the pulley bolt... Whyyy BMW!? My understanding is that this is an xDrive thing. So being that your car is xDrive, take a look first. It’ll be exceptionally tricky if not impossible to replace the pulley without removing the compressor itself. Maybe this was just a pre-LCI thing though, I’m not sure.
