So was not able to get the lower bolt out and due to time limitations (this is my daughters X5) heading back to college this next week to start summer bball training.

Feel horrible that I did not get the job done as I wanted to. I was playing to the cautious side. If the nut broke would have to order a new Oil Housing as not sure how clean drilling out would have been.

Another issue that the day before doing the work her damn A/C Clutch went out also and did not have time to replace it. The A/C clutch plated was loose and had play in it. Was not causing an issue but decided not to put a new Stretch belt on. Dont want to but more than likely going to have to bit the bullet and have her take it to a local BMW repair shop in East Lansing and have the A/C Compressor replaced

(Anyone know a good BMW Shop In the East Lansing Area?


So the whole point of the work was some basic maintenance

- Accessory Belt
- Idler Pulley
