I need the part in the image below that is circled in red on the right side of the image. ![http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9750/bracket.png](http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9750/bracket.png) Bolt #11 was missing when I took it apart to change the tensioner and pulley as those were why I thought the serpentine belt was loose. I must have bought the car with that bolt missing as I have not touched this part of the engine since I bought it. Well it turns out that bracket snaps in half when that bolt is not present. Tischer wants $200+ for the whole assembly, the bracket is not available individually. Part 11287838797 (Complete hydraulic belt tensioner) was found on the following vehicles: E34: Details on E34 E34 525i Sedan E34 525i Touring E36: Details on E36 E36 320i Sedan E36 325i Convertible E36 325i Sedan E36 325is Coupe E36 M3 Coupe E36 M3 Convertible E36 M3 Sedan E36 323i Coupe E36 323i Convertible E36 328i Sedan E36 328i Coupe E36 328i Convertible E39: Details on E39 E39 528i Sedan E39 525i Touring E39 525i Sedan E39 530i Sedan E39 528i Touring E46: Details on E46 E46 320i Sedan E46 323Ci Coupe E46 323Ci Convertible E46 323i Touring E46 323i Sedan E46 325Ci Coupe E46 325Ci Convertible E46 325i Sedan E46 325i Touring E46 325xi Touring E46 325xi Sedan E46 328Ci Coupe E46 328i Sedan E46 330Ci Convertible E46 330Ci Coupe E46 330i Sedan E46 330xi Sedan E46 M3 Coupe E46 M3 Convertible E53: Details on E53 E53 X5 3.0i SUV E60: Details on E60 E60 525i Sedan E60 530i Sedan E83: Details on E83 E83 X3 2.5i SUV E83 X3 3.0i SUV E85: Details on E85 E85 Z4 M3.2 Roadster E85 Z4 2.5i Roadster E85 Z4 3.0i Roadster E86: Details on E86 E86 Z4 M3.2 Coupe Z3: Details on Z3 Z3 Z3 M Coupe Z3 Z3 M Roadster Z3 Z3 2.8 Roadster Z3 Z3 2.5 Roadster Z3 Z3 2.5i Roadster Z3 Z3 2.8 Coupe Z3 Z3 3.0i Coupe Z3 Z3 3.0i Roadster Looking to buy asap.

i remember seeing an e46 coupe in the junkyard on the rez in sanborn…im not sure when they close but i could stop by there to check if its still there. would probably be ~10 bucks there lol. i think the e36 in INS on river road has already been crushed so that one would be gone… ---

Ugh, I’m such a fuck tard. In the parts diagram, #2 is the bracket I needed. It’s $57. Of course the line pointing from the #2 to the part is gone. Oh well, lessons learned I guess… ---

Yea, I the bolts were $13 and I had a new pulley and tensioner already. all I technically needed was the bracket. So when I went to BMW to buy those bolts I was looking at their image and noticed the #2 pointed to the bracket which I by the image I saw wasn’t available separately.
