Most stealthy looking pulley

[MR///M3]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a pulley, but I'm trying to make it look as stealthy as possible so that techs won't notice it when I go in for service/warranty work. So far I'm thinking the Macht Schnell kit looks the most inconspicuous and is very fairly priced.

Or should I just spend a little more and get the Dinan pulley and never look back?

Thanks ahead of time,
Matt

I'm not looking for company fanboys... I want facts. Although I did look and their's looks pretty stealthy too, I haven't seen many reviews on it though

Seems like alot of people go with ms and is the most stealth. AA has good ones too from what I hear

Yea I might just do that...

Im no fanboy brotha got my turner on my 08 E90 with an AFE elite intake. Can definetly notice the car pulls harder. Its not a huge dif but enough to notice. The turner motorsports pullet is all black . So it cant get much stealther than that. The AA is brushed aluminum i believe so its more noticable.... Give it a look im sure u wont be disapointed. Turners been racing M3's for a while so they know their shit i hope lol

The dinans not a bad choice either

I have the MS pullies and they look completely stock. Car has been in for service a few times now and nothing was ever brought up. Plus, MOAR POWER!

Also turner discounted it for me, they were really cool on the phone. Most other pulleys are 100 bucks more

Be careful with the stealth black paint - splash it a little and they might think part of the engine is missing!

Oem pulley is silver. The best choice is dinan. It is the best design. On their pulley the grooves are different on each side. That way the power steering does not get effected.

Most vendors offer a replacement crank pulley only, Macht Schnell and Rogue utilize a dual pulley design and use standardized belts (rather than proprietary) which can be found at any auto supply warehouse if replacements are needed during maintenance time.

The Macht Schnell pulleys also allow the AC compressor to not be underdriven, since the clutch disengages at wide open throttle (WOT) and provide a considerable amount of power throughout the entire powerband.
