Hi

I was going to replace my drivers belt, automaic tensioner and idler pulley. Was trying to find a part number for an Idler pulley for my car. I have a N53 engine, 09 plate, E93. I'm in the UK.
I called BMW and they said they have no part number for an idler pulley for me - and that my car doesn't have one. Can this be correct?


Checking realOEM - Deflection pulley - 11287535860 - but this is only for cars with active steering. Bmw said I don't have active steering and this part number doesn't match up with my car.

Regards

They never sold the N53 in North America, but the easiest way to tell is to look if you have it, lol. In the absence of that, if you don't have a power steering fluid reservoir, you don't have a deflection pulley, since you have electric steering.
