Finally decided on the Alta pulley, easiest installation but more importantly is the fact that it is 100% stainless. Looking for someone to install it here in Southern California. Are there reputable dealers anyone can suggest for aftermarket installs? Long Beach MINI was reccommended by Moss Motors. Has anyone had experience with them.
I purchased my 2003 MCS out of state and have yet to have anyone touch it. appreciate the views on this.... also what kind of oil filter are you using? I'm thinking of world pac, I understand the BMW filter is very cheaply made. I'm using Redline oil. thanks. :smile:

I'd be interested to know what you find. I'm in LA too.

P.S. Flash sites suck.

well, it can't rust. It'll always look good. ..and, well, it's got ALTA engraved on the darn thing, so it's got "wow" factor.

I believe on one of the earlier posts some months back, it was stated that it produced less wear on the belt.
I know you are already aware(cheese) but others may not be, It doesn't require any heat to install and it is almost impossible to install "out of alinement" if installed according to the instructions. Itzamazn
