I took a call on using the INA pulleys instead of the Genuine BMW pulleys because FCPEURO had a lifetime replacement option. The pulleys are functioning fine without any issues (it's been 2 weeks with daily driving).

Not bad on the price. Would you say this is something for expert Diy'ers, is this something someone with basic understanding (i.e., someone who can do their own brakes, oil, etc) can do?
Does it require taking the engine out?
