It looks the same as every other aftermarket pulley for the E92 M3
This is what they said in an email:
Mike,
For the factory pulleys, yes, they are the same. However, for the aftermarket (TMS) pulleys, the pulleys are quite different, for several reasons. One being the power steering pump RPM on later cars must maintain a minimum to avoid a CEL and the belt routing on the early/later cars is quite different, requiring a different pulley design.
The early kit takes a 6PK1040 belt.
The late kit takes a 6PK1440.
Thanks.

Does this make sense or am I missing something here? I was told all pulleys (usually all of them) were the same for the aftermarket because there are only so many ways you can do it. I did my research and it seems only the BELTS were different.
