535i M30 timing chain guide rail

[Dash01]

Some Bimmers such as the M60 engine have a hole near the starter motor to insert a flywheel lock, using BMW tool 11 2 300. Bentley shows this on pages 117-15 and 117-17.

At least one Australian guy (Myles?) with a late '88 535i has posted here in the archives that he used a punch to insert in such a hole and lock his flywheel for the purpose of removing the 32mm dampner nut.

So, does the '90 535i M30 engine have such a hole for flywheel lock?

that seems to be the right part number on real oem, is there a part number molded into it somewhere to confirm?
