AC adjusting pulley quality??
Any consensus on quality/brand of pullies to use on our e34s? Dealer wants $70.13 for OE part number 11281748131 which is the AC pully. Realoem has an approximate/ballpark price of $46.04. BMA has febi for about $16.00 and Meryle for $21.00.
Reason I am asking is I replaced my AC pulley about 45,000 miles ago with a "FEBI". It is starting to squeal/rattle upon a cold start and feels a bit loose. Is this the normal lifespan? Or is Meryle or the OE dealer pulley a better choice? As far as I know, I have the correct AC belt which was installed about 45,000 miles ago. TIA

I considered that as well. IMO, I havefound the dealer reasonable on some items and very high on others. No reason that I can see.

Febi is typically pretty good, 45k seems a little premature but for
16 bucks , who cares. I would venture to guess that 60k is more typical
