Looks like OEM tools just ripped off SIR tools; they copied their B90 tool.
Still not cheap, but a significant difference between the B90 at $700 and Oemtools at $316.05.

This is a very satisfying job to do
A lot of parts stores rent FWD kits for free (with deposit).
The B90 tool is generally more complete for Euro cars than most FWD kits, so if its a long term investment, it makes sense since you can use it on other euros.Your resource to do-it-yourself and interesting bmw and e30 stuff: www.rtsauto.com

Nice write up and just used this yesterday. But I rented the slide hammer hub puller from Advance Auto, here it didnt fit the 4x100 bolt pattern. Without modifying their part and some hoe handle engineering I made it work. But looking on line at others they don't specify that they go down to that small of pattern. I did notice some had two flanges in them.
