        The tensioner spring is a must (and its ponly $1) and it makes sense to replace the belts and hoses since they are out anyway. For good measure Id do the cam seal and o-ring as a minimum

          And don't forget the Blind Plugs.

          A car can be restored many times. It is original only once.

            Chances are that numbers 14 and 15 in this diagram will be brittle and crack when you are trying to remove them. Easier to have new ones ready incase they do crack rather than try to put them on after you've put on the radiator, fan shroud, fan etc back on.

                Your dealer or an on-line BMW parts supplier.
                The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                  As a general rule don't buy ANY parts for your car from AutoZone.

                  I use BMA Parts for most things and TheBMWpartStore for OEM BMW parts.
