Good question.
I heard that Doncaster BMW may do this, but have not got around to asking.
Please post if you happen to call and get a good response.

EuroClass works mainly on VAG cars.

That said, fitting an aftermarket pulley is not rocket science. It does require care and attention, but if they follow instructions, use the correct tools and a bit of common sense then most workshops whould be able to carry out this work without too much bother.

If you have some good friends who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and are not complete Gumbies (like me) then you could probably carry out the work yourself...

I have spoken with Doncaster BMW service and they will do puley replacements along with other things.
Not cheap but atleast experienced with mini, and obviously no warranty.

I was quoted $590.00 + Pulley and you need to provide the removal tool!
They did give me the number of a guy in adelaide who sells Pulleys and provides the pulley tool for free if you purchase the pulley.
IF I decide to pay someone to do it, I will use DOncaster.
Alternatively I will pluck up the courage and get my hands dirty.

My thoughts exactly, but that is what he said
Technically, I guess BMW would not need the tool for genuine BMW stuff.
